"Ten of Tomorrow is one of WWD's most compelling franchises because it identifies the talent we think has the potential to shape the industry's future. It touches on all aspects of the industry, from designers and marketers to the retailers and chief executives whose careers, in our view, carry great promise,” said Edward Nardoza, Editor in Chief, WWD. “As our sponsor for this special report and event, WWD is delighted to have The Howard Hughes Corporation, one of the retail world’s most creative and innovative developers host us at the Seaport District.”

“We are pleased to partner with WWD, the authority for fashion, beauty and retail news, and support the emerging talent of WWD’s Ten of Tomorrow,” said David R.

The partnership will continue to unveil programming in 2015, including the Seaport Studios Concept Pavilion - a unique retail experience created by The Howard Hughes Corporation and WWD at the Seaport District - in spring 2015.
