PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH) announced the launch of its Foundation's "Runway Ahead" initiative, committing $10 million through 2030 to support emerging fashion talent.

The program will provide funding, mentorship, and industry access to aspiring designers and students. PVH Foundation will partner with Harlem's Fashion Row and the Council of Fashion Designers of America to deliver fellowships and scholarships.

Through the Harlem's Fashion Row partnership, three designers will receive grants to create collections for presentation at New York Fashion Week. The fellowship includes mentorship from PVH associates covering design development, brand building, and business strategy.

The CFDA partnership will award three scholarships to senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students studying at U.S.-based institutions. Recipients will receive access to PVH's Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger archives and ongoing mentorship support.

"As stewards of two of the most iconic brands in the industry, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, we have a responsibility to create opportunities for emerging talent," said Stefan Larsson, CEO of PVH Corp. "Runway Ahead is our $10 million investment in the next generation—unlocking access and creating pathways for future fashion leaders to build careers and shape what comes next."

The initiative builds on PVH Foundation's existing philanthropic efforts, which currently work with more than 20 nonprofit partners worldwide to expand access to the fashion industry, particularly in underserved communities.

PVH Corp. operates the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands in more than 40 countries worldwide.
