Fashion and beauty brands are continuing their efforts to support the Black Lives Matter movement with scholarships and mentorship programs specifically for Black students.
Fashion universities, such as the Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology, have also pledged support to their Black students with new scholarship and mentorship programs. The “Post Modern” Scholarship Fund will be managed through the Fashion Scholarship Fund, which awards funds to students studying in different areas of the fashion industry. The fund includes a personal donation from Abloh and matching donations from his partners Evian, Farfetch, Louis Vuitton and New Guards Group.
The CFDA is also working with Gucci to award two recipients of the Gucci North America Changemakers x CFDA Scholars by Design program with $20,000 a year for four years. The program aims to support graduating high school seniors that plan on studying fashion design at an accredited four-year university.
