CFDA announced Teslin Doud as the winner of the first annual Tory Burch Mentorship Award. Teslin is an environmentally conscious designer from California currently studying fashion at Parsons The New School for Design.
Tory raved about Teslin saying she is incredibly talented and our team is looking forward to helping her realize her enormous potential. As part of her year-long mentorship, Teslin will produce a collection with guidance from the Tory Burch team, including a trip to Première Vision in Paris to select fabric. In addition, she will receive two professionally constructed ready-to-wear pieces for her senior year thesis collection.
In its commitment to support young designers CFDA partnered with MemberTory Burch to create the Tory Burch Mentorship Award, which provides the winning student with a unique opportunity to supplement academic learning with first-hand industry experience at one of the world’s most recognized design brands.
