CFDA/LEXUS ECO-FASHION CHALLENGE AWARD

Our continued practice of responsible and sustainable design and production will grow even more now, thanks to the CFDA/Lexus Eco-Fashion Challenge. I am honored to be this year’s recipient of the grand prize of $75,000.

With the award, Alabama Chanin will support our company growth, which includes our machine-made garments under the label A. Chanin, creating jobs, promoting Made in the USA production, and, yes, a new Alabama Chanin collection.

    Congratulations! Alabama Chanin stands out to me because you’re not just a ‘normal’ fashion business using eco-friendly materials – you’re actually doing the whole thing in a really different way, challenging ideas about how fashion should work. Glad to see you winning prizes for it!

    I’m so excited that you won! I cannot think of anyone more deserving! Such a great company with such a great concept all the way around!!! I love the way you do business and the way you think about it. I love the way you took your business back to your hometown. Your whole story is just so wonderful and always gets me teary eyed. Always thinking about the environment and how you can do it better. Really…there is no one more deserving in the fashion world that I can think of 🙂 Congratulations!!!

    I have now made four skirts, two tops and a bolero. On my way to an Alabama Chanin wardrobe.
