FIT Hosted Its First-Ever Sustainability Awards Olivia Evans On April 13, the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) hosted its first-ever Sustainability Awards to kick off its 15th annual Sustainable Business and Design Conference. The awards were broadcasted virtually and hosted by model and activist Amber Valletta. The event honored three “Changemakers in Fashion” — Eileen Fisher, Abrima Erwiah, and Stacy Flynn – for their contributions to the fashion industry and groundbreaking efforts in the sustainability space. Amber Valletta kicked off the event by listing the efforts FIT itself has made toward sustainability, including weaving sustainability into its curriculum, and the college’s usage of solar panels, beehives, and green spaces on their roofs for natural coloring for dyeing textiles.
