Sponsor News: FEED Projects Returns to AFW

Aspen Fashion Week is proud to name the FEED Foundation as one of our partners for 2012. The FEED Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds to ensure nutritious school means for all children as a first step to improving the global food system.
