Hosted by Shani Grosz founder and designer of SHANI Collection, The Magic of Fashion celebrates an immersive night where fashion, culture, and entertainment come together in a speakeasy-style showroom experience pulling back the curtain to give guests a behind-the-scenes look at how fashion truly happens, from creative vision to the final, unforgettable moment.
With experience leading high-visibility brand moments including major retail activations and seasonal collections SHANI brings a hands-on, creative-director approach to every detail, from the guest experience to the storytelling behind each look. As host of the evening, she will welcome guests into the SHANI world for an immersive night where fashion, culture, and magical entertainment come together.
Designer Andy Chia Yu will co-host The Magic of Fashion Event alongside designer Shani Grosz. The evening will bring guests closer to the creative process through curated fashion moments, conversation, and a thoughtfully styled atmosphere.
A Chinese-American designer known for blending structure, storytelling, and sustainability, Yu refined his foundation through studies at Virginia Commonwealth University and FIl, later expanding his design perspective through Industrial Design at Rhode Island School of Design.
By age 22, he launched his first women’s collection carried by Barneys New York and later stocked at Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, and over 100 specialty stores followed by televised debuts on QVC and QVO Europe. His work continues to be shaped by an eco-conscious approach, often incorporating reclaimed materials and innovative construction techniques.
