The CVFF Class of 2021

This year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists— LaQuan Smith, Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta, Jameel Mohammed, Rebecca Henry and Akua Shabaka, Batsheva Hay, Abrima Erwiah, Edvin Thompson, Kenneth Nicholson, Willy Chavarria, and Anifa Mvuemba, most of whom are pictured here—were winners all, uniformly awarded grants and mentors to help support their businesses in the post-COVID landscape.

Among their visual reference points? Everything from Richard Avedon portraits to Kylie Minogue music videos and vintage shampoo commercials—in other words, sources as brilliantly varied as the designers themselves.
