16 Aug Conscious Fashion Campaign 2023 Digital Convening

Last week FEL’s CEO Jenny Holloway was part of The Fashion Impact Fund X The United Nations Office’s discussion panel for Partnerships and the PVBLIC Foundation.

The spotlight was on the four female founders who discussed advancing equitable workforce development within the fashion industry. This was a collective digital billboard campaign during New York Fashion Week (They are also exploring the possibility of promoting this topic throughout London Fashion Week, depending upon available billboard advertising space). These will be showcased at iconic locations throughout Manhattan which include the NASDAQ billboard in Times Square, Spring Studios (the home of New York Fashion Week), the United Nations Headquarters and 5th Avenue.

Each of the featured female founders are 2023 Fashion Impact Fund grantees. The women of the panel discussed important points such as women receiving only 25% of news features globally (taken from Global Media Monitoring Project 2020 – 2021 Final Report).

The seminar was important and empowering, The Conscious Fashion Campaign amplifies the visibility of female founders advocating for a fair and inclusive fashion workforce to accelerate women’s economic empowerment and leadership

In Jenny’s words: “What an inspiring group of women! I was absolutely overwhelmed by the talent and commitment of these amazing women today. Thank you to the Conscious Fashion Campaign 2023 Digital Convening for bringing together these CEOs from around the world who truly care and make a difference in our glorious fashion industry. Their commitment to the sustainability of ethical fashion is astonishing.”

In support of the Sustainable Development Goals – as adopted by the United Nations Member States in 2015, the Conscious Fashion Campaign aims to educate, inform and inspire a diverse media landscape representing women-led fashion initiatives advocating for gender equality and decent work for all and this was defiantly highlighted throughout.
