For 14 years, Wiggins, part of Pratt Institute’s class of 1975, served as the managing executive and creative director, interior design at TPG Architecture. During her time with the firm, Wiggins helped shape TPG Architecture’s spaces and culture. She’s credited for transforming the firm’s approach to design and mentoring a new generation of talent. Wiggins is also responsible for spearheading award-winning projects.
Prior to her time with TPG, Wiggins was an established figure in the design world. She lent her vision and distinguished lens to redefine what it means to craft workplace spaces as a means of provoking connection and innovation. Wiggins announced her retirement in December 2024.
Jeremy Scott graduated from the Pratt Institute in 1996 with a degree in fashion design and founded his eponymous label in 1997. After more than a decade as the creative director of his own label, Scott took on the same role at Moschino in 2013, a role he held for 10 years.

Apart from his eponymous brand, Scott’s expanded his reach with unique partnerships, including a collaborative relationship with Adidas that’s lasted more than two decades. Scott lists Disney, Barbie, H&M, Ugg and MAC Cosmetics among his many collaborative partnerships.
The designer’s high-profile clientele has included the likes of Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Margot Robbie, Heidi Klum and Lady Gaga, among others. In April, Scott spoke with WWD about his task to craft 500 costumes for the next “grand show” at Berlin’s Friedrichstadt-Palast theater.
“I’ve worked extensively with people who are far away from me for, like, my whole design career. In a 20-something-year career with Adidas, I think I’ve been to their headquarters in Herzogenrath [southern Germany] twice. Even during my tenure at Moschino, I didn’t live in Italy. I went there to work but maintained my studio in Los Angeles,” the designer said.
The annual event offers an opportunity to pay tribute to trailblazing figures, like Wiggins and Scott, while also fostering conversations on art and design and opportunities to network with Pratt alumni. The gala will also raise funds for scholarships awarded to burgeoning designers and artists.
