We have certainly had a great time this year celebrating everyone’s milestones and successes. From our very own MR Awards that honored American excellence in menswear to help celebrate Minneapolis retailer Hubert White on 100 years of business, we’ve been there to support the industry in all of its endeavors.
Take a look at our top five menswear industry events and parties of 2016:
THE MR AWARDS

About 300 retailers and manufacturers showed up to celebrate American Excellence in Menswear, the first year the awards focused on this particular segment.The evening was hosted by MR magazine’s Lizette Chin, Stu Nifoussi and Karen Alberg, and sponsored by the MRket and Project shows. In her introduction, Alberg pointed out that most of the award winners are the children or grandchildren of immigrants, particularly relevant in these politically turbulent times and proving that the American dream and values and work ethic make all things possible.
