Commemorating her late husband Stephan Weiss’s legacy and his lasting influence on the vision behind the Urban Zen Foundation, fashion icon Donna Karan hosted the 2018 Stephan Weiss Apple Awards on Wednesday, October 24, at the Stephan Weiss Studio in New York City.
Weiss was a prolific artist and sculptor. The “Apple” refers to Weiss’s larger than life bronze apple sculpture which resides in the Millennium Garden at the Hudson River Park in New York. The event honored Iman, Jimmy Nelson, and Joel Towers.
Karan was joined by Bernadette Peters, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Christie Brinkley, Alexa Ray Joel, Helena Christensen, Deborra-Lee Furness, Keith Richards, Patti Hansen, Christy Turlington Burns, Russell James, Stefano Tonchi, Tiki Barber, Carol Alt, ABC News’s Dr. Jennifer Ashton, Rosanna Scotto, Lauren Bush Lauren, Andrew Saffir, Daniel Benedict, David Kratz, and Zainab Salbi.
