The fourth annual WWD Honors kicked off Tuesday evening in Manhattan, with a cocktail hour and dinner paired with the awards portion of the night. Giorgio Armani was recognized with the John B. Fairchild honor; Stella McCartney was awarded this year’s Corporate Citizenship award; Pierpaolo Piccioli of Valentino was awarded the honor for Women’s Wear Designer of the Year; and Kim Jones of Dior the honor for Men’s Wear Designer of the Year, among other honorees.
“I want women to feel really, really good about themselves when they’re wearing Stella. It’s never really veered off that,” McCartney said. “I try to accommodate confidence and let them say who they are through what they’re wearing. As a designer and as a female designer, it’s important for me to not dress women but for them to wear my clothes themselves.”
Her first time wearing the designer was when she was around 19 years old, walking her runway show in Paris. “I just think he has the most beautiful eye,” she said of Piccioli. “No one does couture like him.” The socialite chose a Valentino gown for her wedding day in 2015, a process she said took five to six fittings to complete.
“Strength. Femininity. Class. Ease,” Rossum said of what the brand name signifies to her. Her standout Armani moment was the red dress she wore to the Golden Globes in 2016. “It was between two dresses and the other one was purple and beaded, and I went with the red, ultimately, because it was so strong and simple, just a simple column dress,” Rossum said. “Armani’s tailoring is just impeccable and always makes me feel incredibly strong.
