About

New York Fashion Innovation Center (NYFIC) is reimagining the future of local textiles by uniting farmers, researchers, manufacturers, and designers to build a more sustainable and resilient supply chain across New York State. We believe fashion can be a force for good—fueling innovation, strengthening regional economies, and championing environmental stewardship.

Catalytic support from Empire State Development’s Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR) makes NYFIC possible. Through this investment, NYSTAR is advancing science-driven innovation and entrepreneurship across New York’s textile, fashion, and interior design industries. Together, we’re building the foundation for a circular, resilient, and locally rooted supply chain.
