Fashion moves forward with the efforts of people across fields and countries. To celebrate the outstanding contribution of the Asian diaspora to shaping diversity and excellence in the fashion industry, EnVi presents its Fashion Power Player List. 

Each year, we take the input and suggestions of industry insiders, as well as fashion and entertainment-focused professionals and organizations, to ultimately curate a list of personalities from the Asian diaspora who are influencing and making a lasting impact in fashion. 

From creative legends who have paved the way for Asian representation to emerging names set to become the new generation of fashion leaders, EnVi rounds up names in three categories: Trailblazer, Rising and Next-Up.

TRAILBLAZERS

This category reunites seasoned and established names in fashion — pioneers in their fields — who have contributed to shaping the current fashion landscape.
