The spotlight was on retail execs who are using their power in the industry to be a force for good for the next generation.
“America’s Next Top Model’s” Miss J. Alexander hosted the 48th annual BRAG – or Black Retail Action Group – gala Oct. 19 at the Edison Ballroom in NYC, which recognized honorees who were making a difference in the lives of young people.
Honorees included Kevin Harter Bloomingdale’s vice president of integrated marketing, LIM College president Elizabeth Marcuse and Balmain’s US managing director Shawn Pean.
Officials from the advocacy group also gave out more than a dozen scholarships at the black-tie gala, where guests enjoyed a four-course dinner and silent auction.
