About

Fashion Community Foundation (FCF) was founded out of deep appreciation and celebration of cultures from around the world. We are working to create a lasting impact that allows all of us to appreciate where we come from and where we are going.With a critical eye for making meaningful connections through fashion, the FCF has designed an integrated program to teach young people the basics of fashion design. This includes sewing and stitching (hard skills) and the art of language and communication (soft skills) to set young people up for independence through tangible work experience.
