Fashion 2.0 Awards Ceremony

The Fashion 2.0 Awards, launched in 2010 by Style Coalition, recognize and honor the most innovative fashion brands in the online community. Nominated by industry peers, the awards celebrate the year's 'best-in-class' for outstanding achievements and inventive communication strategies across a variety of social media channels and networks. The winners are voted on by their online fans and revealed at the much anticipated awards ceremony which kicks off New York Fashion Week. This year’s Awards will feature first-time host Robert Verdi, a well-known TV personality, celebrity stylist and one of the earliest industry veterans to utilize social media. The inaugural Keynote Address will be given by design legend and pioneer Norma Kamali, chosen for her commitment to online media and new technologies as integral components of her brand strategy. The first Fashion 2.0 Visionary Award will be presented to Gilt Groupe Founders Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson in acknowledgement of their achievements and leadership as e-commerce game-changers and their tremendous impact on the way the fashion industry, particularly luxury brands, perceive the online space.
