    Fashion designer Stan Herman and stage and film actor/director Tamara Tunie will cohost the 2024 Femmy Gala, the intimate apparel industry’s premier event on Aug. 6 at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York.

    The Femmy Gala is the fundraising vehicle that enables the Underfashion Club to support its extensive scholarship, awards, internship and grants programs.

    Honorees include Commando , Eberjey , Regina Miracle , Vanity Fair and Mayur Vansia, director of innovation at Victoria’s Secret.

    As reported, Commando will win for “Brand Evolution,” Eberjey will receive an award for “Iconic Sleepwear,” Regina Miracle will win for “Sustainable Innovation,” Vanity Fair for “Fan Favorite” and Victoria Secret’s Vansia for “Visionary.”

    Herman, who was president of the CFDA for 16 years, has worked in the intimate apparel industry since 1965 for such brands as Van Raolte, Swank, Youthcraft/Charmfit, Slumber Togs, Kellwood, Carole Hochman and Komar. He has been selling his loungewear line on QVC for more than 31 years.

    Tunie’s career encompasses stage, TV and film, and she appeared last year in the role of Cissy Houston, mother of Whitney Houston, in “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” She is also helming the new musical, “Dorothy Dandridge: The Musical.”

    This year marks the 66th anniversary of this charitable organization established to provide intimate apparel industry leaders with a forum to exchange information and ideas, and support the intimate apparel market as a vital aspect of the fashion industry.

    “This year we applaud those members of the industry who have turned options into action, be it ecologically innovative methods of manufacturing, upcycling, recycling, environmentally conscious invention, or reducing our carbon footprint,” said Tina M. Wilson, president of The Underfashion Club and vice president, creative director for Hue Brands.
