Our story began in June of 2012, when Mr. Peter Kaufman, CEO of Innovative Concepts Associates, was invited to the United Nations to participate in a Roundtable sponsored by Fashion4Develpment.
There, Peter Kaufman (right) caught the attention of Dr. Robert C. Orr (left), Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Strategic Planning, who asked to meet with him one-on-one.
Kaufman’s experiences at the United Nations including Every Woman, Every Child and the Beyond 2015 (formally known as MDGs or Millennium Development Goals) inspired him to found Bona Fide Fair Fashion™.
Bona Fide Fair Fashion™ is a nonprofit initiative, which aims to bring the fashion industry to the table to collectively charter a course towards a more sustainable future by channeling creative investment in developing countries and by focusing on human rights in existing factories.
