We go beyond the boundaries of the fashion and design industries\, using our platform to promote social change that elevates women today and tomorrow. Our event brings together creativity\, inspiration\, and transformation in one physical space\, and we proudly honor the voices that are driving positive change in our communities. \nThe theme for WFDW 2025 is “THE THRESHOLD” \n“Threshold” – a word imbued with both anticipation and potential. It signifies the liminal space where beginnings take root\, and where the ripple effects of change begin to unfold. A point of both arrival and departure\, it represents the delicate balance between stasis and transformation. \nAt the 2025 WFDW Miami\, we embrace this potent theme. We recognize the unexpected beauty that can emerge from disruption – the calm that follows the storm\, the fertile ground nurtured by a creative “crash.” As with design\, life itself is a series of thresholds. Recognizing when we stand on the cusp of the next level fosters the resilience and determination to push beyond boundaries\, to embrace the unknown and create the future we envision.  \nThis year\, WFDW Miami invites you to explore the transformative power of design and design-thinking. Join us as we delve into the essence of “the threshold\,” redefining the possibilities of design and design thinking in a holistic and inspiring way. \n \n \nABOUT THE FSMSDC:  \nThe Florida State Minority Supplier Development Council (FSMSDC) was established in 1975 and has grown to be the leading connector of Corporate and Government Members with Minority Business Enterprises to foster equity in a business.
