The Fab 5

Part fashion showcase, part educational mission, part cultural exchange, the Fab 5 project urgent the fashion industry to work harder to reflect the multicultural society in which we are living. Fashion is a powerful tool, playing an enormous role in shaping how we view and value people. When it changes, it changes not just for the good of fashion but for the society at large. Current editions include the Fab 5 We Are Made in Italy project and the Fab 5 Bridge Builders International.

Advocacy & Activism

All of our work seeks to advance diversity and inclusion in the fashion and design sectors. Representation is activism but it isn’t enough. In addition to our events and projects that actively intervene on the status quo, we provide consulting services, educational events, and more to support other organizations in their efforts towards greater inclusivity.
