The Industry London
13 October 2011

Long standing member and advisor to The Industry, Lauretta Roberts, created a fashion awards scheme in 2010 to encompass the entire world and the full spectrum of elements that make up an evolve global industry.

The second annual WGSN Global Fashion Awards take place on 20 October 2011 in New York City at Gotham Hall - one of the city’s most acclaimed architectural spaces.

There is not another event in the world that brings the international fashion community together like the WGSN Global Fashion Awards and Lauretta, who sits on the advisory panel of The Industry and is the director of the WGSN Global Fashion Awards says, “We launched the awards last fall to great success and since announcing the second annual GFA’s earlier in the year, we have been inundated with award entries and requests to attend by those working across the fashion industry from all corners. We had no choice but to move to a larger venue that could accommodate an audience that had grown six-fold. This year’s ceremony will provide an unprecedented opportunity for networking across the industry with a global reach and give guests the opportunity to meet the fashion world’s best.”

Created in 2010 to recognise and reward those who are laying the foundation for the future of the fashion industry, the Global Fashion Awards is a call to recognize high-level achievement.
