Exceptional Talent Shines in a Luxurious and
Refined Setting Catering to Discerning Buyers
NY NOW is thrilled to announce the launch of CURATED at Luxury
Lifestyle to their Summer Market, taking place August 4-7, 2024, at
the Jacob Javits Center. This new segment is an expansion of the
inaugural Emerging Fine Jewelry Designer Incubator that debuted at
the Winter 2024 Market and will showcase the work of talented fine
jewelry creatives.
“We are excited to build upon the momentum we established during
our Winter Market to further amplify these exceptional voices and
solidify Luxury Lifestyle as a destination that exudes refined
elegance,” noted Kim Mancuso Telford, General Manager, NY NOW.
“Luxury Lifestyle is a curated section of our event designed with
our buyers’ needs in mind. The introduction of CURATED exemplifies
our commitment to discovering innovative talent and creating a
seamless experience in a refined setting.”
In addition to offering the opportunity to exhibit in the
specialized section for three consecutive shows, the participating
brands will also be offered a robust roster of education sessions
and one-on-one consultations. The sessions are hosted by various
experts who strive to create a sense of community among the
designers while bolstering their business acumen. The curriculum
and thought-leadership support offered to the designers is
spearheaded by Liz Kantner and Robin Kramer, who are uniquely
positioned to understand the nuanced challenges that designer fine
jewelry businesses face. Together, the pair provides actionable
advice and decisive feedback that can advance the success of
exhibiting brands.
“CURATED at Luxury Lifestyle is tailored to brands that are on
the cusp of greatness,” Kantner and Kramer explained in a joint
statement. “We seek brands who possess both remarkable talent and a
proven track record of business ability. While these brands are
considered ‘emerging,’ they are already well on their way to
success and remain eager for further professional development. They
also embrace 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 within the category.
The 2024 launch of CURATED at Luxury Lifestyle will feature the
work of 16 trailblazing designers. Half of these designers are
seasoned NY NOW veterans, while the other half will be making their
NY NOW debut. To learn more about Luxury Lifestyle, click here.
