For the first time in the program’s history, every finalist made the trip.

CFDA Chairman Thom Browne credited support from Allison Sarofim, chair of the Friends of the CFDA, with helping emerging American designers gain global visibility. The account describes that exposure but does not report orders, sales or other business outcomes from the showroom.
