“CLIO Image celebrates visionary work that is raising the bar in the fashion, beauty and retail advertising industries,” said Nicole Purcell, president, CLIO. “Mother New York’s Together Sweater and Topshop’s #LIVETRENDS are only two examples of the work that had us buzzing this year. All our 2015 Grand CLIO Image winners and their respective creative projects perfectly illustrate the future of this industry.”
The ceremony included a special presentation to honor iconic fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier with the inaugural CLIO Image Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing his career-long contributions that have made a lasting impact on the industry. Among Demarchelier’s best-known photographs are a series of portraits of Princess Diana, taken with her sons, which helped establish the Princess of Wales’ image as “the people’s princess.” Demarchelier was later made the princess’ official portraitist.
Heidi Klum also accepted this year’s Honorary CLIO Image Award, in recognition of her vast body of creative work throughout the beauty and fashion industries. Klum started her career as a fashion model and successfully and expertly transitioned to a career in entertainment and design. Klum’s impact as a businesswoman and style influencer grows stronger with each new endeavor, inspiring creativity and risk-taking for a new generation of artists. Speaking to the elite crowd, Tim Gunn introduced Klum, touting her many accomplishments.
Pret-a-Reporter presented the Excellence in Commercial Styling Award to Edward Enninful, fashion and style director of W magazine.
