Only one designer will take home the trophy in the Fashion Impact category at this Friday’s CAFA Awards -- presented to a Canadian designer or brand that has made a significant philanthropic impact in the world -- but each nominee in the category is worthy of some special recognition.
Since we here at FASHION are big on supporting the people who strive to make the world a better place, we’ll be publishing a story on each label nominated for the award this week. That way, you can learn more about the designers whose work goes beyond the aesthetic and is more about uplifting members of their community -- and perhaps we’ll inspire you to start plotting some upcoming purchases.
