Martin Scorsese, Kylie Jenner, SZA, and Ed Ruscha were among the seven big names honored at WSJ. Magazine’s 2023 Innovator Awards on Wednesday, held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Jenner, who was honored in the brand category, launched her latest enterprise earlier in the day: Khy, a clothing line featuring accessible essentials like a faux-leather trench coat and seamless separates.
“I’ve always loved beauty and fashion and to be recognized for the success of my brands I built and my new Khy that launched today, it’s so special to me,” said Jenner, 26, during her acceptance speech, according to WSJ. Magazine.
At the event, Jenner was seated next to her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, who presented Scorsese with his award, jesting that he’d only worked with the acclaimed filmmaker on a Chanel commercial.
Since 2011, the ceremony has celebrated trailblazers across industries—from fashion and literature to entertainment, technology, and philanthropy. Each year, the awards convene notable people across creative disciplines. Scorsese was honored for film in this year’s event; SZA for music; Julia Louis Dreyfuss for entertainment; Ed Ruscha for art; Jerry Lorenzo for fashion; and Walter Hood for design. The honorees are selected by WSJ. Magazine editors.
