The CFDA and Vogue are pleased to announce the fifth season of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund “Americans in Paris” initiative, with the generous support of Tommy Hilfiger.

“Americans in Paris” was created as a global showcase for emerging American designers. As Paris Fashion Week attracts a wide array of international retailers, the showroom will provide invaluable global exposure for the designers; as well as the sales, marketing and media support necessary to expand their respective businesses.

Ten past CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund designers have been selected to participate in the shared showroom space:

-A.L.C. – Andrea Lieberman
-Esquivel Shoes – George Esquivel
-Giulietta – Sofia Sizzi
-Illesteva – Daniel Silberman & Justin Salguero
-Jennifer Fisher – Jennifer Fisher
-Jennifer Meyer – Jennifer Meyer
-JC Obando – Juan Carlos Obando
-Patrik Ervell – Patrik Ervell
-The Elder Statesman – Greg Chait
-Wes Gordon – Wes Gordon

The showroom will be located at Le 8 Valois and will be open during Paris Fashion Week from September 28 – September 30. On Friday September 27, Tommy Hilfiger will host a round table conversation with the designers to provide mentorship and answer questions regarding the global nature of the industry today and expanding their business internationally. The discussion will be followed by a dinner in honor of the ten designers.
