Collective billboard campaign during New York Fashion Week.

The Conscious Fashion Campaign: NYFW September 2022 edition, an initiative of the Fashion Impact Fund in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Partnerships and the PVBLIC Foundation, will spotlight ten women-led organizations advancing fashion industry change in a collective digital billboard campaign September 9 - 14, 2022 during New York Fashion Week.


“We need to acknowledge and elevate the work of women leaders from all walks of life — in Governments, business, international organizations, civil society and beyond. Together, we must work to increase the number of women in leadership — and we must amplify the power of those women who are already leading. We know true progress is made when leadership is diverse, inclusive and balanced.”

— Amina Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General, United Nations
