On Monday March 30, the Social Impact Fund and the Fashion Institute of Technology Foundation presented the inaugural Social Impact Summit x NYC. The line went around the block to see Kenneth Cole and Selena Gomez honored at the event, as well as an incredible line up of speakers from Macy’s, MAC Cosmetics, Kate Spade, Calvin Klein, LVMH, Tommy Hilfiger, Estée Lauder, Rare Beauty and FIT.
Our moderators from WWD, The Meteor, FIT Foundation Board and our media partner, The Hollywood Reporter - delved into topics including the importance of diverse creative connections to the impact mandate within the fashion and beauty industries.
Afterwards, guests were treated to a reception with music from DJ BEARGAZER and drinks from our supporting sponsors, La Crema, Peroni and Voss Water.
We’d like to thank our Gold Sponsors, Kate Spade New York and Delta Air Lines, official airline of the Social Impact Summit, as well as our other supporting sponsors, Ulta Beauty, MAC Cosmetics and Perlman and Perlman. Your support means the world to us. And of course a huge thank you to all those who attended.
