The Stars Rise…

(NEW YORK) The Fashion Group International has a way of cultivating stars, and next week, the newest generation will be named. From Donatella Versace, who won the Superstar award at the FGI’s Night of Stars in October, to Jason Wu, the recipient of the Rising Star award last year, those honored by the FGI tend to go places. Next Thursday at the Rainbow Room, the Group will present their 12th annual Rising Star Awards to honorees in accessories, beauty, home design, fragrance, jewelry, retail, and men’s and women’s apparel.

I mean, wrapping them in pretty paper and tying beautiful bows, even writing the Holiday notes can be quite therapeutic for me, but actually deciding what to give to whom makes me pretty anxious.
