MODACARES

ModaCARES is F4D’s non-profit foundation conceived as a platform to support emerging fashion designers from around the world. Each year F4D selects designers to help them grow their businesses and fulfill one or more of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals such as gender equality and environmental issues.
