Recipient of this year's "Spirit of Strength" Award.

His February 13th runway show in New York City has been acclaimed as one of the Season's top events.
"Zang Toi is one of the most respected innovators in Fashion who has "shared his strength" to inspire, uplift and heal." So said Dr. Jack Barnathan, founder of the "Spirit of Strength" award. "From his work raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer research to his positive support of others shared in ways large and small, we were so honored by his presence.
"Zang's comments at our event acknowledging my continued efforts to help all realize the deep connection that Style has as it inspires our personal and professional Strength, was incredibly special for me," Dr. Jack Barnathan shared.
The following morning, Dr. Barnathan led a private workshop titled "The Ênergy Alchemist" as part of his "Luxe Inspiré" Series (Luxury that Inspires) at the New York Palace Corner Penthouse for an audience that included Leaders from Investment, Real Estate, Physical Design, Health Care, Publishing, The Performing Arts, Progressive Wellness and More.
