Phoenix Fashion Awards to honour Chinese brands & leaders

As a media partner of the Phoenix Fashion Awards, YUE will cover the entire red carpet event and dinner party, with special emphasis on the award presenters and winners from New York City. Chiu-Ti Jansen, Publisher of YUE Magazine and a Board Member of the Couture Council of Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, will also be presenting an award during the gala.

“The launch of the Phoenix Fashion Awards attests to the contemporary Chinese society's ever-growing interest in fashion and style,” said Ms. Jansen, “Conversely, the international world of fashion also looks to China as the next frontier of style and taste-making. I am delighted to be part of this cross-fertilization of ideas, talents and imagination.”

Expected to bring together 1,000 participants across the fashion, design, entertainment and media industries from China and worldwide, the 2012 Phoenix Fashion Awards will culminate in a grand ceremony featuring the theme of “Chinese Articulation, Fashion Outlook.”

Award recipients are the pioneers in the fields of design, jewelry, cosmetics, media, modeling, entertainment, photography and fashion entrepreneurship, who have a great impact on the fashion world in China and who bring Chinese articulation to the international fashion stage.
