In an exquisite fusion of fashion, innovation, and empowerment, Fashinnovation partnered with the iconic Diane von Furstenberg (DVF) to host the #InCharge panel event, one of the highlights of New York Fashion Week (NYFW). Held at the DVF Meatpacking district, this event was a homage to women’s empowerment within the fashion industry and beyond.
The discussion, moderated by Fashinnovation’s co-founder Jordana Guimaraes, featured a curated assembly of voices that are shaping the future of fashion and entrepreneurship. Guimaraes, renowned for her role in melding the realms of fashion with technological innovation, has established Fashinnovation as a beacon of diversity, sustainability, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Among the panelists were Taylor Foster, an international model and entrepreneur, and Layana Aguilar, a designer and the mind behind The Fashion Squad School. Foster, transitioning from model to founder of Heaven On Main Street, shared her journey towards creating an all-natural skincare line, advocating for holistic wellness and environmental care. Aguilar contributed her expertise on the integration of education and creativity in fashion, emphasizing the importance of nurturing innovative thinking within the industry.
This panel was not only a celebration of the monumental strides made by women like Foster and Aguilar but also an acknowledgment of the need to cultivate spaces where women’s achievements are celebrated and their leadership amplified. The #InCharge event illuminated the myriad ways in which women lead, innovate, and inspire.
The collaboration between Fashinnovation and Diane von Furstenberg, thus, created a moment of profound reflection and collective empowerment, echoing the essence of what it means to be #InCharge.
