Today is the first installment of our Thursday series "What Was....?".

This series will elevate the stories of past places and events that have been important to the fashion story since the industry began. This includes topics such as shopping locations, awards shows, geographic locations, runway shows, exhibits, leisure spots, and so on. We will explain why each topic was relevant to the fashion industry in the past, and why it is important to remember its influence on fashion today.

Our first "What Was....?" feature is more accurately a "What Were....?". We are discussing the Coty Awards.

We look at the awards show's history and what led to its demise.

Today is the first installment of our Tuesday series "Who Is....?".

This series is designed to spotlight the people that have built fashion into what it is today. These are people that might be known of, but only on a surface-level basis. These people that have built fashion into what it is today deserve to be given their due by current generations.

Our first "Who Is....?" feature is fashion journalist and television reporter Elsa Klensch, widely known for hosting CNN's Style with Elsa Klensch for 21 years.

We dive into her life and career and her journey from New South Wales, Australia to dominating the fashion airwaves in both the United States and the world.
