Aside from her design abilities, Lawrence admires Chiuri’s “over-enthusiastic work ethic,” she said. “She just has the kindest heart.” Herrold, who wore a pink Courrèges ensemble for the night, said that ahead of Halloween she was still plan-less — but has a costume idea in mind.Doherty, meanwhile, is leaving that planning up to his girlfriend.
Reflecting back on his career, Gennette said he was most proud of being able to navigate the pandemic and help Macy’s “reset, get back to financial health, get back to a clean balance sheet, and be a more agile and customer-obsessed organization with new services and new platforms that would serve our diverse customer base.”
Elyse Walker, the Los Angeles-based multibrand retailer, was awarded the honor for Best-Performing Fashion/Retail Company, Small Cap, and singled out her family as key to her success. This included her husband, who supported her while she worked seven days a week to build her brand, as well as her father, who was a role model with tireless work ethic.

They concluded: “The One to Watch award is permission for all of us to believe in ourselves, to be unabashedly authentic and to stay true to our purpose.”Jean Paul Gaultier, Rabanne and Charlotte Tilbury.
