NYC VIBE Mourns the Passing of Woodstock Co-Founder Michael Lang
The Fashion and Creative community was devastated upon learning of the passing of 41 year old Virgil Abloh at a Houston hospital from a rare form of cancer this past weekend.
NYC VIBE reflects back on the years when we saw @virgilabloh on many red carpets.
Abloh joined @louisvuitton in March 2018, and his first show a few months later in June established a new chapter in fashion - when streetwear smashed its way in the racks of luxury brands, and also the first time an African American designer had taken the role of creative director at a major luxury fashion house

Fashion Group International's âNight of Starsâ Awards Ceremonies in New York City
October 2021 - Lower Manhattan, NYC:
NYC VIBE wanted to know what the fashion industry's top designers are now creating for the new business and social world we now live in. So we were invited to the 2021 Fashion Group International's annual Night of Stars awards ceremonies to talk with the global design and fashion creators, organizers and thinkers to see what they are working on and how the pandemic has changed the fashion industry's perspective on how they plan to dress us.
This yearâs Superstar and Lifetime Achievement Award winner Tommy Hilfiger told us that everything has and will continue to change and he is more focused than ever on reading what the customer wants - The Founders Award recipient Norma Kamali said her motivation continues to pull her forward though dedication to sustainable fabrics - while Roberto Cavalli's Fausto Puglisi, the Fashion Star Award recipient said that while this a challenging time for the industry is the most exciting time as well to re-invent itself.
Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim, the creative team from Oscar de la Renta and Monse, were awarded as the Vanguards and said this will further motivate them to do more for up and coming designers as well as challenge themselves
The retail honor went to Queens native Ronnie Fieg who created Kith more than a decade ago and was presented the award by former NY Giant Victor Cruz.
The Beauty Award was handed to Professor Augustinus Bader.

NYC VIBE with the Designer Who Invents New Outfits While Reinventing Himself - In Earnest!
September 2021 - Lower East Side, NYC:
We first met Byron Lars back in 1991 when he was named âRookie of the Yearâ by Womenâs Wear Daily.
Now more than 30 years later, and in the midst of a global pandemic, Lars is up to something again.
NYC VIBE sat down with the trendy designer to learn more about the In Earnest collection, which is inspired by Larsâs Harlem neighborhood, particularly the African street vendors and the treasures they sell on the street.
The native Californian reflects on designing clothes now for the business community still working from home but yearning to go out at night - on his many dresses worn by First Lady Michelle Obama and a career within a career designing a generation of Barbie girls that was the talk of the nation.
As a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Lars met the legendary Karl Lagerfeld at a fashion competition in Monte Carlo that changed his life and firmed up his commitment to the fashion industry.
Byron told us that casual everyday clothes are what American culture is about, and certainly in African American culture too. Historically it was about making a silk purse out of a sowâs ear, and Iâm sure the lineage of that somehow expresses itself in what he is doing.â
NYC VIBE saw this first hand at the recent StylePointe Fashion Show during NY Fashion Week.
