We’re spotlighting remarkable women

FOR THE PAST DECADE, we’ve been dressing women to achieve their ambitions. We’ve built a community of Fold Women – leaders, mentors, creators – every one with a unique story to tell.

To celebrate International Women’s Day 2024, we launched a global search to find the next group of inspirational Fold Women – the pioneers of tomorrow, working hard today. We asked you to nominate anyone in your network who inspires you – a colleague, friend, or even yourself.

 

Over the past few months, our team and panel of judges have reviewed all of your incredible entries, and now we are please to be officially announcing our winners.

 

Nominations are closed.

We sat down with our five incredible judges to talk about driving positive change, women supporting women, and how we can empower the next generation.
