The Luxury Lifestyle Magazine Brings November Innovators Issue to Life With
Awards Ceremony in New York City
NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WSJ. Magazine hosted its fourth
annual Innovator Awards at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on
Wednesday evening, honoring the most innovative and influential talents whose
groundbreaking accomplishments have shaped their respective fields.
The honorees were: Sou Fujimoto (Architecture); Kara Walker (Art); Dr. Dre and
Jimmy Iovine (Entrepreneurship); Nicholas Ghesquière (Fashion); René Redzepi
(Food); Lil Buck (Performing Arts); and Reshma Saujani (Technology).
Each winner-chosen by WSJ. Magazine editors-was presented with an award designed
by the 2011 Design winner Joris Laarman and is featured in the November
Innovators issue, which is up 47 percent in advertising year over year.
"We are incredibly excited about the remarkable lineup of this year's
Innovators," said Kristina O'Neill, editor in chief of WSJ. Magazine. "We spend
months deliberating over the winners, and the process is always inspiring.
Choosing them is a bit like planning the perfect dinner party. Which is why the
event at MoMA, with so many other cultural leaders in attendance, has become
WSJ.'s most anticipated evening of the year."
Publisher Anthony Cenname added, "Over the past four years, the Innovators
platform has continued to grow both in style and scope, resonating with our
readers and advertisers alike. At their core, both are driven by innovation,
creativity and success."
This year's awards were sponsored by Ermenegildo Zegna, Samsung and Singapore
Airlines.
The November issue hits newsstands on November 8 in the U.S. and November 7
internationally, and is available online at WSJMagazine.com.
