Fashion Scholarship Fund, FSF Live 2022

An evening celebrating the newest FSF Scholars and honoring the legacy and impact of Virgil Abloh, Founder and CEO, Off-White and Artistic Director, Menswear, Louis Vuitton and honoring Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck for his support of The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation’s partnership with FSF.

The Fashion Scholarship Fund fosters the professional success of exceptional college students and recent graduates from all backgrounds as they seek out careers in the fashion industry. Abloh was additionally recognized for his significant impact on fostering equity and inclusion across the fashion industry, including through the establishment of his “Post Modern” Scholarship Fund benefiting Black students.

This re-imagined gathering was a cocktail celebration bringing together the best of FSF’s network of 1,000+ supporters, industry leaders, alumni, educators, mentors — and most importantly all of our Class of 2022 Scholars. Each student had a dedicated panel summarizing their scholarship submission. Four finalists gave crafted TED Talk-style monologues about their work, with one scholar selected as the main scholarship winner.
