NEW YORK, June 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, June 8, 2017 at 7 p.m., the 2017 New York Fashion &
Lifestyle Festival (NYFLF) was launched on the 63rd floor of
One World Trade Center, hosted jointly by Globe Fashion Week Inc.
and WG Empire. This year, NYFLF celebrated the fashion spirit with
the grand opening of WG Empire at the iconic building One World
Trade Center. In the meantime, the WTC building lighted up
with the NYFLF hot pink color.
NYFLF is the annual grand celebration event aims to provide
opportunities for emerging designers and artists to showcase and
connect with media, buyers and investors. This year, NYFLF
partnered with The United Nations Children's Fund
NextGen (UNICEF NextGen), highlighting charity, aside from the
theme of fashion and art. Guest Speakers featured WTC
representative Peter Trivelas and WG Empire CEO Chujun
Wang.
"A key goal of the 2017 NYFLF is to support emerging fashion
designers and artists around the globe. Many talented emerging
designers are unable to afford showing at New York Fashion Week.
June, less busy on the fashion calendar, proves a suitable month
for NYFLF to attract and invite industry individuals. Many emerging
New York designers/artists, on the
other hand, are in need of such platforms. After a selection
process, admitted emerging artists are able to display their works
at NYFLF," said Todd Hessert, Co-founder of Globe Fashion
Week, Inc.
Participants include Lanyu (designer), Narval New York
(designer), Gemma Hoi
(designer), Trixie Zarate (designer), Yang Mai (artist), Lin
Wang (artist), Coralraincan (artist),
BoboSnap (stylist), etc. Influential industry guests were
invited, including Fiona
Dieffenbacher, director of the BFA fashion design program at
Parsons; Nicole Zhao, CEO of LANYU;
Ryan Serhant and Fredrik Eklund, stars from the famous Million
Dollar Listing and Sterling McDavid,
chair of UNICEF Next Generation and so forth.
"NYFLF invite investors who take interest in fashion and art,
connecting them with emerging brands at NYFLF. The festival serves
the commercial function and meanwhile makes charitable
contributions. On behalf of NYFLF, I would like to thank World
Trade Center and WG Empire to partner up, and to thank Dior Makeup,
The Fragrance Group, La Prairie, Lady M, Cava Oinos, Pisco 100, Cusquena, B&H Photo
and The Starling Project for being our sponsors. Together, we work
to support causes of The United Nations Children's Fund," said
Todd Hessert Jiang, creative
director of NYFLF.
