A female-led nonprofit creating an inclusive, sustainable fashion platform for designers, artists, activists, and visionaries whose IMPACT struts beyond the runway.

IMPACT NYFW was envisioned by Lizzy Gee, an all-inclusive fashion designer based in Brooklyn, NY. Practicing sustainability with her designs, she wanted to further transcend eco-conscious methods in regards to how designs were presented with another passion- event production. IMPACT is an alternative, nonprofit New York fashion week platform for emerging, sustainable designers to showcase their work in pop-up shops, showrooms, and on the runway. Not only does the designer’s work make an impact on the runway, but also all ticket proceeds from our events are donated to a different environmental organization/charity each year. IMPACT welcomes all genders, sizes, & seasons. Each event also includes a variety of live music performances, guest speakers who are pioneers of sustainability, and refreshments from our generous sponsors. The ultimate goal is to have a fun evening celebrating sustainable design, educating the general public about eco-friendly fashion, and everyone gaining connections to achieve their own future endeavors!

IMPACT NYFW INC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in the US since June 2020.

“Fashion is part of the daily air and it changes all the time, with all the events. You can even see the approaching of a revolution in clothes. You can see and feel everything in clothes.” - Diana Vreeland
