Last Thursday, Dallas' fashion elite gathered at the Gossip Bar inside the Anatole Hotel where Fashion Group International Dallas (FGI Dallas) announced the 2013 Rising Stars in anticipation of its annual Fashion and Lifestyle Awards, ‘Night of Stars’ gala.
FGI Dallas announced the following Rising Stars honorees:
• Fashion: Elizabeth Anyaa

Last month, FGI Dallas announced that the award for Lifetime Achievement will be presented to Kay Unger and the Career Achievement in Fashion will be presented to Billy Reid. Both designers will be in attendance at this year's event. In addition to these awards, FGI Dallas will present the Shelly Musselman Design Award Scholarship to Holly Hmielewski.
