NOMINEES: DESIGNER OF THE YEAR
Standout Fashion Label

Sukeina, Fe Noel & Tongoro
Known for high-impact pieces with intricate details and folds, Senegalese
couturier Omar Salaam’s Sukeina clothing line is a Naomi Campbell favorite.
Designer Fe Noel’s Grenadian heritage informs her colorful, free-spirited looks;
in July she partnered with Bloomingdale’s on a Lion King–themed capsule collec-
tion. Meanwhile, Beyoncé wore standout designs from Sarah Diouf’s Tongoro line
in her video for “Spirit,” the first single from the film’s sound track. »
