Cipriani's uptown outpost played host to more than just ladies who lunch, as Fashion Group International hosted scads of pre-NYFW-preoccupied fashion folks at its 15th annual Rising Star awards this afternoon. A quick recap: Wes Gordon tied with Misha Nonoo for the women's RTW category, and Simon Spurr nabbed the honors for men's wear. "I've been nominated for awards many times, but this is the first I've won!" exclaimed Spurr as he accepted the Movado, glass starburst-topped award from Thom Browne, who reminisced about his own jaunt on the same Rising Star podium five years prior.
