Eileen Fisher

Founder of her namesake heritage brand known for understated, timeless design, Eileen Fisher established her original concept in 1984 — a system of shapes that work together to help women get dressed easily — that still defines her signature label today. A forerunner in sustainability, Fisher implemented a circular manufacturing model starting with the launch of her innovative Renew take-back program in 2009, designed to preserve the value of the brand’s clothes at every stage, in any condition. To date, EILEEN FISHER has collected more than two million garments. The eco-atelier is a certified B Corp, leading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy with a commitment to people and planet while maintaining a healthy business. Fisher’s sustainable efforts have been widely recognized with honors including the Pioneer Award at the 2022 CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards. Fisher was the 2021 FIT Changemaker in Corporate Sustainability honoree and was named to the Forbes 50 Over 50 Visionary list that same year. She received the Positive Change Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2019.
