The GCFA’s Mission

In an interview with Marie Claire UK, Livia Firth, founder of the GCFA, described the awards show’s initiative to shine a light on intersectional positive change. “We do this during Oscars week, maximizing the power and reach of the fashion and entertainment industry to reach the largest audience possible,” she explained. “In addition, every year the Green Carpet Fashion Awards celebrates an array of inspirational young leaders who are helping to drive political, social, and environmental solutions for a brighter collective future.” This annual event proves how fashion, entertainment and activism can all work to move the needle as it relates to change on a global scale.
