A month before the coronavirus pandemic upended New York, fashion label Prada promised the city’s Commission on Human Rights it would take internal and external measures to address charges of racism.
On Thursday, the company announced a series of programs aimed at improving diversity in its workforce and in the fashion industry as a whole, including a paid internship program, scholarships to the Fashion Institute of Technology and a partnership with Dorchester Industries to create a three-year “design lab,” among other steps, all aimed at people from minority communities.
