CFDA+ 2015 | TALENT BOOK
Within this first edition of the CFDA+ Talent Book, on behalf of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, I am humbled to introduce the CFDA+ 2015 Design Graduates, a dynamic cohort of 54 designers representing graduates of 16 leading U.S and international design programs who truly are fashion’s future. Individually they exemplify diverse talent possessing unique perspectives and creative acumen within Womenswear, Menswear, Childrenswear, Accessories, Jewelry, Textiles and Knitwear. Cumulatively, they are a community of global citizens and tomorrow’s fashion design thinkers, influencers, creators, and leaders who believe in the power of design and imagination. In 2016, the CFDA will celebrate twenty years of enduring support to education through its Scholarship Program. Our team can think of no better way to honor this legacy than by looking forward.

CFDA+ 2015 | ABOUT PHASE 2 | INTERVIEWS
CFDA+ is a virtual talent lab and mark of distinction. The CFDA+ platform unites the circles of CFDA Membership and Education communities, striving to strengthen the transition between education and industry. Aware of the challenges graduates often face as they embark on their professional journeys and in service to the shared CFDA Board and Membership aims of better navigating a talent pool of thousands of annual graduates, this year marks the program’s third and its second inviting applications from abroad. A rigorous three phase selection process identifies top tier talent across various specializations from a global community of invited colleges and provides strategic design introductions to the diverse community of more than 500+ CFDA Members and their brands.
The CFDA conducted a total of 98/15 minute video interviews to further explore candidates’ professional readiness, goals, status, and aspirations. ± 98 Candidates by Specialization = 77 Apparel, 13 Accessories/ Jewelry, & 8 Textile Design (Including Knitwear)

± Geography = 14 U.S. and 9 International (EU/ UK/Asia) ± Current Citizenship Status: 41 US | 33 ASIA | 21 EU | 9 OTHER (including dual citizenships) ± 45 are currently employed within internships or for terms of 1 year or less (either part time, freelance or full time) ± 92 possess relevant industry experience via internships, work placements, apprenticeships etc.
PHASE 3 | FINAL SELECTION The CFDA’s goal is to curate a dynamic talent pool that is both expert within areas of specialization and versatile in potential for future areas of professional focus. CFDA+ 2015 Design Graduates were selected based on overall excellence, professional readiness, diverse creative acumen and envisioned success within the entire CFDA community. No minimum or maximum number defined decision. COMMITTEE: GREG ARMAS | LISA SMILOR | MARCIA PATMOS | MICHAEL SMALDONE | SAM SHIPLEY | SARA KOZLOWSKI | SIKI IM

“MY APPROACH to design is rooted in the unknown...I like to have some surprises and these are an important part of the process for childrenswear me...With a piece of fabric you never know what it will be until you begin to make and discover the unexpected. I like the idea of childrenswear making garments that look undone, as if the creative process is not completely sorted out. I work a lot on the pattern to make them quite unique so that we do not understand immediately how the garment is constructed.”

“MY APPROACH to design is about balancing style with product creation. I most enjoy fashion when a compelling image, be that editorial, film, installation or runway, can be taken to pieces and each of its component parts, the product, are just as exciting in construction, material and detail as the original image. I try and childrenswear embody this in my designs - a parka, for example, is never ‘just’ a parka; I try to include layer upon layer of detail, elevating the final piece above other versions of the same thing, resulting in something that feels different and unusual.”
