| How Raisefashion Supports First-Time Fashion Designers from BIPOC Backgrounds Enter the Industry | To help support BIPOC design talent, and address the skills gap for those without formal training, Raisefashion launched its brand fellowship programme for which 8 selected BIPOC designers receive a $15,000 grant and gain strategic insight into building a successful brand.
"We have evolved our mission over the last few years to ensure that we are bridging the knowledge and resource gap that we have observed designers struggling with," Felita Harris, Raisefashion's executive director and founding board member, previously told BoF. Now, BoF sits down with the four designers from the programme without formal fashion training, to better understand the challenges and opportunities that have arisen in launching their brands today, and to learn how Raisefashion has helped broaden their knowledge base.
