Every year VERY New York public relations works with WWD to announce the honoree slate for the next year’s American Image Awards. Owned by the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA), the American Image Awards is now approaching it’s 50th year of honoring fashion’s best & brightest.

For 2024, the honoree slate includes some of the most celebrated names of our times who are having impact on the industry overall.

Here’s the 2024 slate:

• Person of the Year – Lizanne Kindler, CEO of KnitWell Group
• Company of the Year – Carhartt
• Designer of the Year – Wes Gordon of Carolina Herrera
• Eco Steward of the Year – Global Fashion Agenda
• Global Vanguard – Pamela Coke-Hamilton, Executive Director, International Trade Centre
• Trailblazer – Allan Ellinger, Senior Managing Partner, MMG Advisors

As has been the case for the last 8 years, the 2024 event will once again donate a significant portion of the event’s proceeds to the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).
