A sales expert and a duo of hair color aficionados will lead The Independent Cosmetic Manufacturers and Distributors (ICMAD) 12th annual Cosmetic Innovators of the Year (CITY) Awards to take place July 25, 2016, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
Starting with a few small lines servicing the west coast in 1984, Harlan Kirschner built The Kirschner Group, Inc. into a thriving global professional sales organization. Considered the most successful rep group in the industry, The Kirschner Group offers complete global coverage to manufacturers with more than 100 sales and educational personnel. Kirschner is on the board of the Professional Beauty Association and is a 2014 City of Hope Honoree.
In 1977, sisters and former Blondie back-up singers, Tish & Snooky Bellomo created the Manic Panic brand (beginning with their store on St. Marks Place - the first punk boutique in America), specializing in products reflecting their rock & roll roots. Still based in NYC, the internationally-distributed line is best known for its rainbow assortment of hair color and cosmetics.
"This year's CITY speakers represent a wealth of expertise and will bring a high level of energy and excitement to the occasion", said ICMAD CEO Pam Busiek. "Their participation will be the perfect complement to an event designed to honor innovation and creativity in the beauty and personal care industry - the CITY Awards is the industry's must-attend event."
CITY Award winners will be selected from among three finalists in each of 14 categories and awarded at the July 25, 2016 event.
