The 2010 ACE Awards are scheduled to be held on Monday, November 1st at Cipriani 42nd Street in midtown New York.
The ACE Awards were created in 1995 to pay homage to those individuals and groups that have made great strides in raising the awareness of the accessories industry. The purpose of the awards is to celebrate those who have had a positive impact on accessory consumption during the prior year. Awards are given to designers, retailers, journalists, celebrities and emerging companies.
