Zane Li Wins 2026 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award

Zane Li of Lii won the 2026 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. The two runners-up were Emily Dawn Long and Aisling Camps.

The winners were revealed Tuesday night at a celebratory dinner held at The Crane Club in New York, hosted by Tory Burch, Thom Browne, Chloe Malle and Anna Wintour.

This rest of this year’s 10 finalists were Amir Taghi, Terrence Zhou (Bad Binch TongTong), Jamie Haller, Julia Ferentinos (Juju Vera), George Inaki (Milamore), Claire Sullivan (Miss Claire Sullivan) and Zoe Gustavia Anna Whalen.

The winner takes home a $300,000 award, while each runner-up receives $100,000. The winners, runners-up and finalists will also be presented with meaningful business mentorships and a pathway to success.

“The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund is an important reminder of why we must continue to champion original voices and true creativity….Each of this year’s finalists bring a distinct point of view that only they could….Their true individuality is what makes American fashion so compelling and supporting their future is the responsibility of our industry….I look forward to seeing what they do next,” said Thom Browne, chairman of the CFDA.

“From silk made of orange peels to materials inspired by prehistoric dinosaurs, this year’s finalists have reminded that there is no shortage of imagination in American fashion. At a time when it can feel easier to follow the crowd, these designers are doing anything but. It’s been such a joy getting to know them, and I’m thrilled to celebrate our winners and see what all 10 designers dream up next,” said Chloe Malle, head of editorial content, American Vogue.
