It could be Italy, southern France, Spain or Greece.”

Evangelou noticed how Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino, Andy Warhol and various heads of state were welcomed in the Pierre. “This is a jewel in New York City. That is why we organize our first women’s lunch, whether these are the first women, royals and the first spouse because the number of heads of state is women. That is a kind of cool, isn’t it?” she said.

The managing director of the Lions management, Julia Kisla Taylor, presented the fashion presentation that contained designs by J’Amemme and Pascal.

Kisla Taylor, who will be the first women’s lunche from F4D Cohost, said that a Ukrainian fashion show would be part of it. Just last week she presented eight Ukrainian designers to some important players in New York’s fashion scene. The creative people all live, work and produce their agricultural and evening clothes in Ukraine. No merchandising or sales trip, the idea was to give the group the opportunity to learn something about the US fashion market. While some take part in the Paris Fashion Week and London Fashion Week, Kisla Taylor said: “America is very different when it comes to fashion.”

The designers visited Michael Kors’s offices, Carolina Herrera, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nicole Miller, Calvin Klein, the Fashion Institute of Technology, Lim, Condé Nast and New York Magazine. “You saw brands, institutions and editors. And there were some events that compare notes with marketing and PR persons and relevant questions such as” What are you looking for in a brand that is not an American? “, Said Kisla Taylor.

The Ukrainian creatives paid their air travel and hotel accommodation, and the Lions management covered the other editions. Kisla Taylor was born and grew up in Ukraine and said she had been in states for 30 years. Now, an American, she said that the male members of her family are in the efforts of Ukraine to combat Russian armed forces, as the war mobilized in his third year. Her mother and her aunt have moved to the USA due to the war. But as soon as the fights stop, she said that she is planning to return.
