The gala spotlights industry icons and emerging talents who have made significant impacts over the past year. Among the honorees are Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden, who clinches the Person of the Year award, and designer Kenneth Cole, receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award. A$AP Rocky, who partnered with Puma for the Collaboration of the Year, and the rising style influencer Angel Reese, were among the names on the red carpet.

The awards reflect a broad spectrum of accomplishments ranging from “Retailer of the Year,” taken by JD Sports, to Philéo Landowski snagging the Emerging Talent Award. The evening not only recognizes individual and corporate achievements but also highlights significant societal contributions, with Skechers receiving the Icon Award for Social Impact.
