With designers and CFDA members taking a stand against the Trump-supporting owner of Hudson Yards, will brands slated to show at the venue back out last minute?

Author:FashionistaUpdated:Aug 12, 2019Original:Aug 12, 2019Welcome to our column, "Hey, Quick Question," where we investigate seemingly random happenings in the fashion and beauty industries. Enjoy!

The Shed at Hudson Yards, a transformative arts space which opened in the spring of this year, quickly emerged as one of NYFW's premiere venue choices; Fashionista has heard that about 10 labels, including Rag & Bone, are scheduled to show there come September. Fashionista has learned that the CFDA, now helmed by CEO Steven Kolb and Chairman Tom Ford, decided not to remove Ross from the board, even following an impassioned op-ed by Phillip Picardi in Business of Fashion calling for industry insiders to take a stand against Ross's development by avoiding Hudson Yards completely, despite how "inconvenient" doing so may be for them and their employers.

In addition, Dana Lorenz of Fallon Jewelry announced via an Instagram post over the weekend that she would be canceling her CFDA membership, effective immediately. "After many years of membership I will no longer participate if a woman that funds the current administration remains on the board," she wrote.
