FGI’s Rising Star Award 2022 Finalists Share Hopes for Fashion’s Future at SoHo Soiree

Fashion Group International’s Rising Star Awards took over Diesel’s SoHo boutique on Thursday night, throwing a cocktail party celebrating the 26th annual event — to be held in New York City on May 10. In particular, the Italian brand is helming FGI’s Sustainability Award, to be announced at a luncheon on the same date. Finalists like Julie Lamb, Maya Wang and Frederick Anderson mingled with insiders like Ken Downing, Lara Eurdolian, Simon Goldman and Olga Ferrara for the occasion held by Ana Martins. Spearheaded by FGI’s CEO Maryanne Grisz, the Awards aim to support and honor emerging fashion talent across numerous categories — this year, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. “Sometimes, in the most challenging times is when creativity really is embraced and surges, and in this case I am so inspired by the artistry of all of the finalists,” said Grisz. “The finalists this year inspire hope. There are so many unique points of view and evolution within the industry that they represent across the board.” Maryanne Grisz congratulates finalists at the FGI Rising Star Awards 2022 pre-party with Diesel in New York City on April 28, 2022.
