ACED IT
THE ACCESSORIES COUNCIL RECENTLY HOSTED ITS 25TH ANNUAL ACE AWARDS, A STAR-STUDDED EVENING CELEBRATING BRANDS THAT ARE BRINGING FORTH POSITIVE CHANGE.
From bedazzled Crocs to charitable backpacks, the Accessories Council’s 25th annual ACE Awards on Nov. 2 was an elegant evening in New York City honoring the accessories industry and the category’s companies that supported Covid-19 relief, sustainability, ongoing charitable work, and/or inclusivity throughout the past year.
EB joined the fun—thanks to invitations from sponsors Marchon Eyewear and Safilo Group. Luxottica was also an ACE Awards sponsor.
Honorees included centenarian style icon Iris Apfel (who starred on the cover of the September 2020 issue of EB)—and, notably, the optical industry, which received a collective award.
Here, we share several snapshots from the ceremony. —KERRI ANN RAIMO
