Joe’s Blackbook Scholarship 2019 recognizes top talent

Joe’s Blackbook scholarship, the non-profit initiative created by Joe Medved to support emerging design talent, has another successful year in the books. The 2019 competition’s Final Round party was held at the Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels wine bar in lower Manhattan last Thursday. While the DJ entertained the mingling guests plucked from all levels of the New York fashion industry, and two crisp checks each for 10,000 dollars awaited the winners, a panel of judges were tucked away behind the scenes deliberating over the six student finalists whose portfolios were spread out before them.
