The mission of the Accessories Council (www.accessoriescouncil.org) is to stimulate consumer awareness and demand for fashion accessory products, and to serve as the advocate of the $30 billion accessory business in the United States.

The Accessories Council is a not-for-profit, national advocacy organization established in 1995. Over the past nine years, membership has grown to include 200 corporations representing the country's brand names, designer names and all companies that are the source of supply to the retail community for all fashion accessories.

In keeping with this ideology, The Accessories Council conducts educational seminars, networking events, trend reports, market week gatherings and the annual esteemed and anticipated black-tie ACE Award Gala, held every autumn at Cipriani Downtown.

Gg provides ongoing marketing consulting services to the Accessories Council and Gg founder Michele Gallagher is active on several of the AC’s committees, including their 10th Anniversary Committee, which will be celebrated in 2005.
