The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has announced the finalists of its 2022 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.⁣
While there are 10 in total, we’ve picked our top three favorite to highlight. It might strike some as a bit cheeky to have favorites in a list of talent approved by Anna Wintour. But we prioritize materials, fabrication and talent that is aligned with the value of respecting our planet.⁣

Elena Velez⁣
Wisconsin born, Brooklyn based Elena Velez is very busy these days deconstructing the outdated, massively destructive model known as fashion with a capital F. Sustainability and co-design are the ethos, democratizing creative capital and empowering underserved artistic communities is the air this compelling human breathes. She is hoping to open a small-scale atelier for artisans, welders, designers and blacksmiths all working to upend the industry, where sustainability, transparency and conscientious making undergird the structure.⁣
⁣
Black Boy Knits⁣
Jacques Agbobly's Black Boy Knits is an independent design studio which emphasizes black, queer and immigrant naratives, while highlighting its contributions on a global perspective. As a design studio, BBK centers on creating unique pieces on a made-to-order basis.⁣
⁣
BBK’s made-to-order practice eliminates the possibility of excess in production. Made in-house on a hand-operated knitting machine using natural fibers that are biodegradable and eco-friendly.⁣
⁣
Judy Turner⁣
After a stint at a correctional wilderness camp, which led to a “second chance” at a Tennessee boarding school, Conley Averett learned to knit from a local lady who “shaped my aesthetic and interest in craft and community” A cross between homespun and classic, allowing any “mistakes” to lead to new possibilities, the designer produces locally with a group of Euro-centric Soviet born knitters .  With warped patterning and unexpected color combos Averett strikes the perfect balance of quirky and chic. (Kind of like the brand name –which is a nod to Judy Garland & Lana Turner)
