May marks Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and with it comes one of the most star-studded reminders of the community’s incredible accomplishments: the annual A100. Assembled by Gold House — an organization dedicated to promoting equity and authentic representation of Asians and Pacific Islanders — this list honors 100 people that reflect the outstanding achievements of the Asian Pacific cultural ecosystem.
Culminating in the Gold Gala on May 6, the A100 includes some very familiar names and faces — luminaries who stand out in their industries and make an impact felt in the community and beyond. Among those being honored in beauty, fashion, and lifestyle are makeup artist and beauty-brand founder Patrick Ta, legendary fashion designer Anna Sui, interior designer and TV host Joanna Gaines, Vogue China editor in chief Margaret Zhang, and — receiving top honors — Vanity Fair editor in chief Radhika Jones.
