I recently had the pleasure of attending FGI DC (Fashion Group International) Inaugural Rising Star Awards. The famed group event took place at Casa Luca. Known for their discovery of the newest it girl or guy designer on the scene, FGI has chapters in the main big cities including New York City. Past winners included, but not limited to: Wes Gordon, Misha Nono, Simon Spurr, and Joseph Altuzarra.
I initially went to support my talented stylist friend, Ariella Faith (who won in the Stylist category!!) Ariella gave a very touching speech which led me to tears, but furthermore I was happy to support all of my DC fashion peers. It’s refreshing to see buzz worthy talent in my hometown.

The event kicked off with cocktails and a music set by DJ Heather Femia, guests mingled and ate before the ceremony presentation.
I could not be happy for the winners and nominees. Congrats to all of the talented winners!
