Conscious Fashion Campaign to promote female entrepreneurs
The founders of Worn Again Technologies, Fashion Revolution and Remake have been selected among women social entrepreneurs who will appear on billboards during New York Fashion Week in February as part of a Conscious Fashion Campaign initiative.

The campaign, an initiative of the Fashion Impact Fund in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Partnerships and the PVBLIC Foundation, aims to scale the women’s impact in support of the Sustainable Development Goals. 

Conscious Fashion Campaign: New York is the first edition of the program and received over 100 applications from 25 countries. 

The recipients of the first annual Conscious Fashion Campaign are:
• Abhilasha Bahuguna, co-founder, Looms of Ladakh
• Ayesha Barenblat, founder and CEO, Remake
• Stephanie Benedetto, co-founder and CEO, Queen of Raw
• Mariama Camara, founder and CEO, MARIAMA FASHION PRODUCTION 
• Hilary Jochmans, founder, PoliticallyInFashion 
• Anyango Mpinga, founder, Free As A Human Foundation 
• Ngozi Okaro, executive director, Custom Collaborative
• Cyndi Rhoades, founder, Worn Again Technologies
• Jessica Schreiber, founder and CEO, FABSCRAP 
• Carry Somers and Orsola de Castro, co-founders, Fashion Revolution 

Kerry Bannigan, executive director of Fashion Impact Fund, said: “The Conscious Fashion Campaign: New York honorees show us that the solutions, systems and strategies are available to transition the fashion industry to an equitable, inclusive and regenerative sector. It is critical to amplify the visibility of women social entrepreneurs transforming fashion as they represent collective insight into what is possible for transformational sector change.” 

Through media advertisements on some of the most highly trafficked locations in New York City, the Conscious Fashion Campaign will provide exposure for these entrepreneurs to amplify their sustainable solutions from February 11-16, 2022.
