Fabscrap Shop! THE FABSCRAP ANNUAL REPORT 2019 THE FABSCRAP ANNUAL REPORT 2019 TABLE OF CONTENTS Mission 1. SERVICE Press|Social Media Founder’s Note 2. COMMUNTY Financials Team | Board 3. RESOURCE Acknowledgements Highlights MISSION FABSCRAP endeavors to end commercial textile “waste.” To maximize the value of unused fabric, FABSCRAP is a convenient and transparent Service, is an affordable and accessible materials Resource, and is educating and empowering a Community of changemakers. FOUNDERS’ NOTE WELCOME TO THE FABSCRAP SHOP! At our Team Days in January, we casually discussed the idea that maybe we should explore opening a retail location in Manhattan. The dream was a fabric thrift shop! Near the garment district and design schools! Polished in all the ways the warehouse shopping experience is not! And in true FABSCRAP fashion, the idea led to action. By February we’d found a great location and signed a lease. What followed in March, April, and May was a labor of love. We welcomed Lindsey Troop to the FAB Team to help us open and run the Shop. Everyone we knew was recruited to renovate a nail salon into a new, convenient source for sustainable materials. Together we knocked down walls, chose lighting, painted, swept and mopped the dusty basement. We created shelves, built displays, and designed graphics for the walls. The night before we opened was a late one - finally adding all the fabric and getting every detail right - but still, every single member of the FAB team was there. We’re so proud of what we created! And we hoped everyone would love it too. We are so humbled and grateful for everyone’s response to our new shop - it’s been a wild success! Though the Shop opened on June 1, 2019, it made up 44% of our fabric sales for the year - which grew by 110% from 2018. This is the first year that fabric sales have surpassed service fees! We’ve always believed that for reuse and recycling to work at scale, there has to be a market for the recovered material. Through sales at the Shop, the Warehouse, our Online Store, Pop-ups, on Instagram, and through Custom Orders, we’re doing everything we can to redistribute these resources in the most accessible ways possible. Our goal this year was to give away as much fabric as we sold, but the Shop was so successful it was hard to keep up. We gave away nearly 40% of all outgoing material. This year’s growth in our service, community, and sales (which can be seen on every page of this report) adds to our confidence that the FABSCRAP model is needed and working. So much so that our end-of-year fundraising efforts focused on the idea that maybe FABSCRAP is needed on the West Coast too - we’re looking forward to that action next year...

  • Eileen Fisher's Minimalist Style
    Profiles September 23, 2013 Issue Nobody’s Looking at You Eileen Fisher and the art of understatement. By Janet Malcolm September 23, 2013 here is a wish shared by women who consider themselves serious that the clothes T they wear look as if they were heedlessly ung on rather than anxiously selected. The clothes of Eileen Fisher seem to have been designed with the fulllment of that wish in mind. Words like “simple” and “tasteful” and colors like black and gray come to mind along with images of women of a certain age and class—professors, editors, psychotherapists, lawyers, administrators—for whom the hiding of vanity is an inner necessity. The rst Eileen Fisher shop opened in 1987, on Ninth Street in the East Village. Today, Eileen Fisher is an enterprise with nearly a thousand employees. The clothes sell in department stores and catalogues as well as in six Eileen Fisher shops in Manhattan and fty-ve throughout the country. Over the years, the clothes have become less plain and more like the clothes in fashion. Some of the older Eileen Fisher customers grouse about these changes. They want the clothes to remain the same, as if anything can. Surely not clothes. I remember going into the Eileen Fisher shops that were opening around the city in the late nineteen-eighties and never buying anything. I was attracted by the austere beauty of the clothes. They were loose and long and interesting. There was an atmosphere of early modernism in their geometric shapes and murky muted colors. You could see Alma Mahler wearing them around the Bauhaus.

  • And the Oscar Goes To
    SOCIETY & CULTURE Oscar de la Renta with Spanish socialite and exhibits former fashion model Naty Abascal in the 1960s. AND THE OSCAR GOES TO... As the Museum of Fine Arts pays tribute to prolific fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, local style icons look back on his impact on both their lives and the world. By Michele Meyer The first major fashion exhibit at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston began with one phone call, when philanthropist Lynn Wyatt rang up Museum Director Gary Tinterow. Having seen a tribute to the late, great Oscar de la Renta at San Francisco’s de Young museum, Wyatt believed Houston should stage its own showcase of the dapper designer. After all, he’d often visited our city and had clad not only Audrey Hepburn, Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey and every first lady of the United States—from Nancy Reagan to Michelle Obama— but also many local fashionistas, Wyatt among them. Needless to say, Tinterow agreed. Rest assured that the resulting exhibit, The Glamour and Romance of Oscar de la Renta—on view through Jan. 28—is no knock-off. Not only did de la Renta’s heirs and French label Pierre Balmain share corporate and personal archives, but some of Houston’s best-dressed denizens opened their own closets to the MFA. Each section features gorgeous garb loaned by Wyatt; former Mayor Bob Lanier’s wife, Elyse Lanier; fine arts patron Rosanette Cullen; anesthesiologist Yvonne Cormier; and former first lady Laura Bush. “He told me he had a special affection for the women of Houston because they had style and wore their clothes beautifully,” Cormier says.

The problem is on the rise and many designers are taking hits due to the frequency and success of the culprits. While large retailers such as Forever 21, Zara, Topshop and H&M are soaring, many young designers are struggling to survive.

  • Creating Space and Connecting Women’S Funds
    ANNUAL REPORT 2011 CREATING SPACE AND CONNECTING WOMEN’S FUNDS TOGETHER, WE ARE CREATING SPACE AND CONNECTING WOMEN’S FUNDS Dear Friends of Women’s Funding Network, Thanks to the vital support of committed donors like you, Women’s Funding Network is continuing to advance the growing financial power, influence, and voices of our member women’s funds. We are grateful to all of you — friends, donors, volunteers and champions — who have supported our work with your valuable time and generous resources. Women’s Funding Network is devoted to powering our member funds with the tools, expertise, and leadership so that our collective efforts can achieve greater positive social impact on the lives of women and girls around the globe.

Women’s Funding Network is committed to ensuring women-led philanthropy plays a significant role in advancing gender equality so that women and girls have equal opportunity and protection necessary to thrive in their communities. This past year has been an incredible year for Women’s Funding Network. Our annual conference brought together more than 500 activists, women’s fund leaders, supporters, and allies in Brooklyn, New York to connect, share knowledge, and build skills. We coordinated our first national fundraising day in partnership with EILEEN FISHER retail stores. We released The Common Context: Collective Impact report that illustrates how individual women’s funds are working together to improve the lives of women and girls in an entire region.
