Fashion Group International | 28th Annual Rising Star Awards

And with my second time attending this Award and I have to say it is incredibly rewarding to see professionals being recognized for their effort and talent.

This year the celebration was a luncheon at 583 Park Ave, New York, NY 10065, with special guest Ken Downing, HALSTON Creative Director/Chief Creative Officer XCEL BRANDS, who did a great job entertaining guests by walking around asking awardees and nominees heartfelt questions.

At the event, Maryanne Grisz, FGI President and CEO remarked: “At Fashion Group International, we believe connections matter. The 28th edition of the FGI Rising Star Awards exemplifies our organization’s broader mission to educate, connect, and support industry professionals at every stage of their careers, from legacy leaders and iconic visionaries to the emerging talent we gathered to celebrate today.”
