The 2025 Fashion Trust U.S. (FTUS) Awards took place Tuesday (April 8) night in West Hollywood, welcoming an endless parade of celebrities known for their impressive wardrobes all while supporting up-and-coming designers via its non-profit. Founded by Tania Fares, FTUS provides business and financial support to US-based designers via grants and mentoring, with last night’s ceremony awarding five artisans with bright futures within fashion.
Rachel Scott of Diotima took home the award for Ready-To-Wear while New York City-based label Clyde, designed by Vancouver’s Dani Griffiths, won within the accessories category, Fashion United reports. The prize for jewelry was won by Rebecca Zeijdel-Paz of Beck, a brand heavily influenced by her Caribbean roots. The graduate award was given to Parsons alum Patrick Taylor while the sustainability award was handed to Nana Kwame Adusei of Kwame Adusei, a brand that has become a favorite of Beyoncé, Ciara, and others.
Speaking of Cici, she was one of many stars to show up in support of the event, even taking to the stage and presenting. Other presenters included actor Coleman Domingo and stylist Law Roach while Keke Palmer handled hosting duties. Other attendees included Taraji P. Henson, Kehlani, Kerry Washington, Gabrielle Union, Karrueche Tran, Lori Harvey, Ryan Destiny, Tiffany Haddish, Kimora and Ming Lee Simmons, and others.
