Fallon Jewelry Exits the CFDA in Protest Over Jeweler Kara Ross’ Seat on the Board (Instagram)
Dana Lorenz posted an open letter to Tom Ford, Steven Kolb, and the board of the CFDA on Instagram canceling her membership to the organization. Lorenz cites Kara Ross’ seat on the board as the reason for her exit. Ross is the wife of Stephen Ross. “After many years of membership I will no longer participate if a woman that funds the current administration remains on the board,” she wrote. “I do not feel her views speak for me as a member and I will not allow her to make decisions on my behalf. I thought about this decision well, and although I appreciated support in the beginnings of my career, I no longer feel the membership represents me.”
