The Fashion Scholarship Fund chose to honor these two women because they have both been on the front end of pioneering and championing the next generation of talent. The reason the gala is such an integral piece in the next generation of fashion talent is because they award over 125 undergraduate students across the country with scholarships and also opportunities to work with companies in the industry.
