At the Fashion Trust U.S.’ (FTUS) fourth annual awards ceremony on Tuesday, designers and stars alike gathered to honor the industry’s buzziest emerging labels. Out of 16 finalists announced back in February, five winners were selected to receive a financial grant and a professional mentorship from FTUS and Google.

Zane Li of LII took home the ready-to-wear award, while Marcelle Barbosa of Amaramara won the graduate award. Andrea Marron received the accessories award and Josefina Baillères won the jewelry award. All 16 finalists were considered for the sustainability award, and Maxwell Osborne and Kristy Chen of An Only Child ultimately took home the top prize.

For the Type One Ventures & Lanvin Group Future Form award, all the finalists were invited to submit a technical drawing of an original concept centered on the theme “Space, Reimagined” to translate scientific and conceptual ideas into tangible design. Deborah Won of Pisces Rising was selected as the winner, and her proposal will receive support to develop the concept into a final product.

FTUS honored Tory Burch with the Designer of the Year award, presented by Pamela Anderson (who was clad in a custom Tory Burch silk dress). Michèle Lamy was also given the Lifetime Achievement Award in Design & Culture for her impact on the creative landscape, presented by Erykah Badu and Travis Scott.

Finalists were selected by FTUS Founder Tania Fares and additional board members Laura Brown, Dan Constable, Maha Dakhil, Jamie Mizrahi, Carlos Nazario, Anastasia Soare, Lady Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath, Karla Welch and FTUS presenting partner Google.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a fashion awards ceremony without a particularly stylish red carpet. Stars repped their favorite emerging designers, with Mindy Kaling donning Simkhai, Winnie Harlow wearing Nicholas Oakwell, Ego Nwodim hosting the ceremony in Monse and Julia Fox sporting Ashley Williams.

Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best looks from the FTUS 2026 Awards red carpet.
