KCFW is very excited to announce Rightfully Sewn as our Charity Partner for our March 2016 runway shows!  

 

They are a fantastic organization that  will provide seamstress training for at-risk women so they can thrive in a specialized workforce that will reestablish Kansas City as an epicenter of garment manufacturing, while at the same time, propel Kansas City fashion designers to market so they can supply the burgeoning demand for affordable, high-quality, American-produced garments.

 

The key strategies of their organziation are to:

 

A.  Empower at-risk women by teaching them a trade and assisting them with job placement,

thereby elevating them out of a systemic situation.

 

B.  Cultivate fashion designers by providing them access to a designated space, state-of-the-art fashion technology,

and staffing resources through competitive designer residencies

 

Learn more about Rightfully Sewn and their mission at their website www.rightfullysewn.org and

join us at our KCFW runway show on Thursday, March 17th to help their cause!
