NY NOW is excited to introduce CURATED at Luxury Lifestyle to their Summer Market, happening August 4-7, 2024, at the Jacob Javits Center. This new segment expands on the Emerging Fine Jewelry Designer Incubator, first launched at the Winter 2024 Market, and will highlight the creations of talented fine jewelry designers. “We are eager to build on the momentum from our Winter Market to further amplify these exceptional voices and solidify Luxury Lifestyle as a destination of refined elegance,” said Kim Mancuso Telford, General Manager, NY NOW. “Luxury Lifestyle is a curated section of our event designed with our buyers in mind. The introduction of CURATED showcases our commitment to discovering innovative talent and creating a seamless experience in a refined setting.”
Brands participating in this specialized section will have the opportunity to exhibit for three consecutive shows and access a robust lineup of educational sessions and one-on-one consultations. These sessions, hosted by various experts, aim to create a sense of community among the designers while enhancing their business skills. Liz Kantner and Robin Kramer, who understand the unique challenges fine jewelry businesses face, lead the curriculum and thought-leadership support. They provide actionable advice and feedback to help advance the success of the exhibiting brands.
“CURATED at Luxury Lifestyle is designed for brands on the verge of greatness,” explained Kantner and Kramer in a joint statement. “We look for brands with remarkable talent and a proven business track record. While these brands are considered ‘emerging,’ they are already on their way to success and eager for further professional development. They also value the strength of a collaborative community of fellow creatives.”
Mancuso Telford, Kantner, and Kramer are joined by Morgan Amelia Miller, Sales Director, Jewelry & Accessories; Simone Waldron, Luxury Lifestyle Curator; and Ashley Ciofrone, Senior Sales Manager, who share the NY NOW team’s commitment to nurturing diverse new talent.
The 2024 launch of CURATED at Luxury Lifestyle will feature the work of 16 trailblazing designers, with half being NY NOW veterans and the other half making their NY NOW debut. To learn more about Luxury Lifestyle, click here.
