Cultured Focus Magazine Awards 2023: A Celebration of Fashion and Film is Proud to Honor Designer Elie Tahari @elietahari
Legendary fashion designer Elie Tahari will receive the Cultured Focus "Lifetime Achievement Award" to celebrate his amazing career of over 40 years in the fashion industry. Tahari's ready-to-wear clothing and fashion accessories are sold throughout the world. Inspired by 1970s-era disco culture, he debuted his first fashion show of dance dresses and blouses in 1977 at New York City nightclub Studio 54.
In the 1980s, Tahari turned his attention to the tailored suit, and the 2000s saw an expansion of his brand into men's ready-to-wear accessories, jewelry, footwear, and home goods. In 2012, Elie Tahari was a guest judge on the American television series Project Runway All Stars.
In honor of forty years in the fashion industry, then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared September 4, 2013, "Elie Tahari Day" in New York City. Tahari received the Brand Vision Award from Fashion Group International in 2014.
In 2021, David Serero directed and produced an award-winning feature documentary about Tahari's life, which will be screened during the 2023 Cultured Focus Awards event on Tuesday evening. @davidsereroproductions

TRIBECA: GLORIA GAYNOR: I WILL SURVIVE
This documentary recounts Gloria Gaynorโs life while also chronicling her comeback journey. It is both a moving story of an artistโs resilience and a scintillating peak at the machinations of the music industry. The support Gaynor receives from her manager Stephanie Gold and other industry professionals paints a rarely seen picture of comradeship in a professional sphere normally defined by its cutthroat nature. Such kindness may bring a tear to many eyes, but Gaynorโs beautiful voice running through the film guarantees it.โโCara Cusumano

TRIBECA FEST: BAD LIKE BROOKLYN DANCEHALL
Bad Like Brooklyn Dancehall explores the โ80s and โ90s emergence of dancehall as Jamaican immigrants brought the music, dancing, and vibes of their home to New York City. Nicknamed the 15th Parish of Jamaica, New York City became home to an influential movement that saw dancehall rise alongside hip-hop and eventually spread across the country.
Executive produced by Shaggy, this documentary brings in heavy hitters like Sean Paul, Ding Dong, and many more, including Shaggy himself, to tell the story.

'RATHER' Premieres at Tribeca Festival
Frank Marshallโs incisive documentary is a long-overdue tribute to an icon of journalism, a late-in-life Twitter superstar, a father, husband, and a voice of reason, compassion, and brilliance: Dan Rather. To older generations, his name may be synonymous with quality journalism and stalwart diplomacy, but to younger audience members unfamiliar with his career, Rather provides the opportunity to travel back in time through his remarkable experiences and sharp-witted commentary.
