Fashion Alliance Network invites you to experience the NYFW Takeover, a month-long celebration of culture, craft & sustainability in fashion. Bringing artisans, designers, and icons together in the heart of New York City at 1155 Avenue of Americas to spotlight a more equitable and responsible future for fashion.

Step into the world of a true fashion visionary at Soul of an Icon, presented by Fashion Alliance Network, an immersive exhibit honoring legendary fashion stylist Freddie Leiba, whose creative eye helped shape some of the most iconic images in fashion history.

Soul of an Icon is more than an exhibit—it is a celebration of legacy, creativity, and the profound role stylists play in shaping culture and the world.

Join us for a special opening night event on Feburary 3rd celebrating Freddie’s enduring influence on global style, visual storytelling, and cultural expression. Guests will experience an exhibit, showcasing curated imagery, archival moments, and creative reflections that highlight Freddie’s groundbreaking career and lasting impact on the fashion industry.
