CFDA and Google Open Applications for Third Fashion Fellowship: Five Brands to Be Selected, Deadline November 24
The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has announced that applications are now open for the third edition of the CFDA & Google Fashion Fellowship. Applications will be accepted through November 24, with final decisions delivered in December.
Five selected brands will receive a monetary grant to support their September 2027 New York Fashion Week collections, alongside a year of mentorship and education and direct collaboration with Google's team of product experts and innovation leaders.
Throughout the program, the selected brands will work directly with Google's team to explore best practices for designing products that work for everyone, and learn ways to apply these principles to their own fashion design process. The resulting work will be unveiled in the brands' spring-summer 2028 collections.
Building on the program's previous editions, Generation 3 will feature product collaborations that further strengthen the relationship between the selected brands and Google's Building for Everyone ethos, exploring opportunities across both hardware and software. The fellowship will run through two complementary tracks: an end-to-end product development process encompassing ideation, user experience, user testing and marketing, and direct collaboration between Google's product teams and participating designers.
