With the new year approaching we are grateful and reflect on the extraordinary years past. Given the opportunity and support in 2011 by H.E. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon to cooperate with his office to bring the Fashion Industry to the United Nations to support the UN Goals and create positive social change was an unprecedented and incredible experience. We have been fortunate to have had the vision and support of the late Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia as our Goodwill Ambassador and partnered over the years with so many remarkable agents of change, organizations, and government leaders to support the following UN Goals through our initiatives across the globe:  

• Goal 1 NO POVERTY
• GOAL 3 QUALITY HEALTH & WELL-BEING
• GOAL 4 QUALITY EDUCATION
• GOAL 5 GENDER EQUALITY
• GOAL 6 CLEAN WATER & SANITATION
• GOAL 7 CLEAN ENERGY
• GOAL 8 DECENT WORK & ECONOMIC GROWTH
• GOAL 9 INDUSTRY, INNOVATION & INFRASTRUCTURE
• GOAL 10 REDUCE INEQUALITIES
• GOAL 12 RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION & PRODUCTION
• GOAL 13 CLIMATE ACTION
• GOAL 14 LIFE BELOW WATER
• GOAL 15 LIFE ON LAND
• GOAL 16 PEACE, JUSTICE & STRONG INSTITUTIONS
• GOAL 17 PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS

We look forward to continuing our mission with fresh vision and higher goals for the betterment of humanity starting in 2023 and onward in partnership with the Human Kind Institute and its founder Lola Tillyaeva (Till) who was appointed Goodwill Ambassador for our multi-faceted international initiative 'Preserving Culture' by Fashion 4 Development (F4D) during the 10th Anniversary of F4D's First Ladies Luncheon on September 20th, 2022, during the 77th Session of the UNGA in NYC.  We look forward to inspiring tolerance and harmony among nations and to the next series of episodes of our purpose with stellar partners around the world enabling positive social change.

Happy Holidays!!!
