He adds, "This contribution will allow me to attend the Premiere Vision Textile Show this fall in Paris. One of our many challenges is finding luxury textile suppliers and design inspiration each season. I have never had the opportunity to visit France or any international textile shows and I know this experience will be inspirational, educational and lucrative for Leona's development.

“I can't thank the directors and founders of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and Nashville Fashion Week enough for all they have done to support their local fashion talent as well as introduce Nashvillians to fashion originating outside of the city. I am so proud to be a part of this community and to be recognized by these organizations!"

About NFF Fund winner

The initial Nashville Fashion Forward Fund Award was awarded in 2012. The award recipient was Julianna Bass, a Pulaski, TN native and MTSU alumna. Julianna attended the Bread and Butter trade show in Berlin, Germany as her Nashville Fashion Forward Award experience. Her primary goal for the experience was to initiate expansion of her eponymous clothing line into an international market.

Each recipient of The Nashville Fashion Forward Fund is chosen by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. CFMT provides personalized charitable solutions to help you make a difference and enrich the community in ways that matter to you.
