Calter Named Fashion Innovator
Contemporary fashion designer Corey Lynn Calter has been selected as this year’s Moss Adams Fashion Innovator (MAFI).
Calter was awarded the title during Los Angeles Fashion Week following the California Market Center’s Direction Fall ’03 runway show, held on April 4 at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. Rob Greenspan, managing partner at Moss Adams LLP, awarded Calter a plaque and a certificate for $5,000 worth of consulting services from Moss Adams.
Moss Adams launched the MAFI award this year and plans to hold the award ceremony annually. The award goes to designers or apparel companies that have significantly impacted the national marketplace by exemplifying California fashion innovation through unique and compelling designs, manufacturing or marketing.
A voting committee made up of apparel industry and fashion press selected Calter, who has developed an account base composed of national and international department and specialty stores. Greenspan also honored Calter for her novel fashion designs, as well as her continued support of Los Angeles as a fashion market center.
