The Fashion Trust US Dinner Honored Six Emerging Designers
Ask any designer about their road to success, and they will almost always tell you that it wasn’t linear. That’s why, when it came time to design a trophy for the first-ever Fashion Trust US awards, jeweler Ana Khouri created a twisted and folded sculpture of fair-mined gold and platinum, meant to reflect a creator’s path from inspiration to realization.
Last night, at the GOYA Studios in Los Angeles, six emerging designers took home the awards. They were selected out of a group of 15 finalists by a board that includes some of the most influential voices in the fashion industry, including Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Samira Nasr. The Fashion Trust US, a non-profit, aims to champion and support designers, many from underrepresented backgrounds, as they try to scale their businesses and grow their brand.
