Presenting Designers
Finally, In our desire to raise the bar, the Festival will not only be returning to New York, but the host hotel will be the "one-of-a-kind", TWA HOTEL at JFK Airport! This iconic landmark embraces not only a specific time and place; it is a unique architectural venue that will inspire at least one of the themes of the Festival. More on the hotel in the link below.
