The menswear design community gathered at NoHo hotspot Jean’s to celebrate Nick Sullivan’s 20-year career at Esquire. 

Guests included Todd Snyder, Steven Kolb, Nick Sullivan, Eugene Tong, Jian Deleon, Prabal Gurung, Dao-Yi Chow, Bruce Pask, and more. 

Guests indulged in Jean’s famed farm-to-table dishes, including Tuna Carpaccio and Thai chicken salad bites, while sipping on specialty cocktails the Astor Vesper and the Mandarita with wine provided by Wölffer Estate and tequila provided by LALO Tequila.

In honor of Sullivan’s storied career, the Council of Fashion Designers of America has created the Nick Sullivan and CFDA Menswear Design Scholarship. This scholarship is designed to support undergraduate juniors enrolled in fashion design programs at American colleges or universities who exhibit talent and creativity in menswear design, with the goal to foster the next generation of innovative menswear designers.

In collaboration with designer Todd Snyder, the CFDA and Sullivan will select outstanding scholars to receive financial assistance, a platform to showcase their work, and invaluable mentorship from industry leaders, including Nick himself.
