Naeem Khan
Naeem Khan is a New York luxury fashion house founded by Indian-American designer Naeem Khan, known for opulent, intricately hand-beaded evening gowns, ready-to-wear, and bridal collections. Blending his family's Indian textile heritage with the restraint he learned as Halston's apprentice, the label has dressed Michelle Obama, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez and royalty, and shows twice a year at New York Fashion Week.
Cheryl Liu
Cheryl Liu is the founder and CEO of Raspberry AI, a New York generative-AI platform that turns fashion designers' sketches into retail-ready, photo-realistic images, technical drawings, and CAD files in minutes instead of months. A former KKR retail private-equity analyst who later built product and machine-learning teams at Amazon and DoorDash, she spotted the opening for fashion-specific image generation the moment DALL-E and Stable Diffusion arrived in late 2022. Raspberry AI now serves brands including Under Armour, J.Crew, Tapestry, and Li & Fung, raised a $24M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and was named one of CB Insights' 2026 AI 100 as the only creative-AI application on the list.
