The publication also recognizes the collaborative spirit behind fashion, where every designer, photographer, journalist, public relations professional, and model contributes to bringing a collection to life.
Howard extended special appreciation to everyone involved in making the experience possible, including the event’s creative team and VIP and model goody bag sponsors.
