Danarys Designer Natasha Das Named Finalist for Eveningwear at the 2025 FGI Rising Star Awards
New York, NY — Danarys is proud to announce that CEO and founder Natasha Das has been named a finalist in the Eveningwear category at the Fashion Group International (FGI) Rising Star Awards, held in April 2025 in New York City.
Presented annually by Fashion Group International, the Rising Star Awards honor the most promising new talent in fashion, beauty, interiors, and related fields. FGI, a global nonprofit founded in 1930 and headquartered in New York, is one of the most respected organizations in the fashion industry, with legendary figures such as Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, and Carolina Herrera among its early supporters. The Rising Star Awards are widely recognized for spotlighting designers poised to shape the future of fashion.
Previous winners of the prestigious Eveningwear category include Christopher John Rogers, Jason Wu, Tory Burch and Bibhu Mohapatra—all of whom went on to become leaders in American fashion. Das’s inclusion among this elite group signals a major milestone in the ascent of Danarys, the New York-based fashion house known for its luxurious bridal and occasionwear.
“It is an incredible honor to be named a finalist,” said Das. “To be recognized by such an iconic institution, and to be in the company of designers I’ve long admired, is deeply meaningful. This nomination is a tribute to the Danarys team and the women who inspire every piece we create.”
Known for its modern, heirloom-quality garments, Danarys is redefining luxury for today’s stylish, sophisticated woman. From opulent wedding ensembles to elevated eveningwear, the brand has become a destination for clients who seek thoughtful design, couture-level craftsmanship, and personalization.
The FGI Awards ceremony, held in New York each spring, draws editors, buyers, and industry leaders, offering unparalleled visibility to rising designers. The Danarys team is honored to represent the next wave of American design talent and looks forward to continuing to create timeless pieces that celebrate beauty, artistry, and individuality.
