Why we exist
The Columbus Fashion Council is a non-profit providing scholarships for fashion design students and a platform for local and emerging designers — expanding the fashion economy in Central Ohio through industry growth initiatives, community organizer support, funding access, and creative program development.
How we do it
01
Programs, runways, and events that put Columbus designers in front of buyers, press, and audiences — building the infrastructure a real fashion economy needs.
02
Backing the people who hold the scene together — connecting stylists, photographers, production crews, and volunteers into one working ecosystem.
03
Scholarships for fashion design students and funding pathways for emerging designers, so talent isn’t limited by who can afford to start.
04
New platforms for local and emerging designers to show, collaborate, and build a career without leaving the Midwest.
A non-profit working to expand the fashion economy in Central Ohio — through industry growth initiatives, community organizer support, funding access, and creative program development.
