Glossy Awards

This year’s Glossy Fashion Awards embody the power and influence of a new generation of consumers. While in previous years, the values of Gen Z were starting to become a clear throughline for fashion, they’ve now become table stakes. 

The 2022 Glossy Beauty Awards honor the brands and influencers setting the standard for marketing and business innovation across the beauty industry.

This year’s picks spotlight the importance of responding to the times. The successful programs that launched served as the bright spots that beauty and fashion could offer during months of quarantine and social unrest. 

This year’s Glossy Fashion Awards highlight key stories of growing businesses working tirelessly to reach millennials and Gen Z — critical audiences whose values differ sharply from previous generations. Rather than strictly basing their purchases on style, younger consumers also want to know where fashion brands fit into the world...

This year’s finalists for the second annual Glossy Beauty Awards have executed consumer engagement strategies that are not only creative, but also inclusive and socially aware.

Over the course of this year, some businesses did more than survive — they thrived and grew, all while protecting their employees’ health and giving back to the world.

In an era upended by pandemic and recession, companies of all stripes have scrambled to innovate, scale and survive. But some media, marketing, fashion, beauty and retail players have continued to succeed in the face of daunting odds.

Ahead of this year’s Glossy Beauty Awards and Glossy Fashion Awards, the winning brands worked to break down walls of exclusivity and prejudice, and built forward-thinking partnerships and activations in the process. 

Leading the finalists for the first-ever Glossy Fashion Awards are Naadam and Stuart Weitzman.
