IMG and Empire State Development name recipients of NYFW Small Business Grant

Empire State Development, in partnership with IMG, has announced that 10 New York-based independent designers will receive funding through the 500,000 US dollar New York Fashion Week Small Business Grant.

The initiative was launched to support the “vibrant return” of New York’s fashion industry and will award each of the 10 designers up to 50,000 US dollars to offset show production costs for New York Fashion Week (NYFW), taking place from September 9 to 14.
