For 70 years, we have been fortunate to work with a diverse variety of thought leaders in the beauty and fashion industry. These strong partnerships led us to develop our official Selection Committee—a powerhouse group of female leaders in the beauty and fashion industry known for their dedication to advancing women and advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Alongside our Selection Committee, we reviewed applications and selected 10 winners.
