St. John Knits 2023 Silver and Award Sponsor

2023 Ready-to-Wear Award 

St. John is an American luxury house founded in 1962 on the premise of a simple, elegant, and versatile knit dress. The brand has evolved over the years, but the foundation of the collection remains the same today as it did from the very start – great American design, understated and timeless elegance, unsurpassed quality, and craftsmanship. The company, headquartered in Southern California, employs more than 1,000 people and is vertically integrated with workshops, stores, and offices around the world. Its collections are sold in high-end specialty retailers in 16 countries, 49 St. John stores, and through the brand’s eCommerce site stjohnknits.com.  

Global Chief Executive Officer Andy Lew said, “As one of the earliest American heritage brands, I want St. John to be a national leader amongst the fashion community. As we enter our 60th year in business, it’s especially important to embrace our rich history while looking ahead at our future. To continue working with brilliant creatives for decades to come, we must do our part to support young talent. We understand the challenges and resources necessary to reach a global audience, so it’s paramount this next generation receives the proper tools to advance their careers and thrive in today’s increasingly complex fashion industry. St. John celebrates that we are all knitted together, and we’re honored to be tied to the Fashion Trust U.S.’s inaugural launch. We are thrilled to align with such a meaningful nonprofit and incredible board to sponsor the Fashion Trust’s first RTW Award.
