(NEW YORK) Fashion may have been largely left out of the winner’s circle on Thursday night at ASME’s National Magazine Awards at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, but there was certainly plenty for chicsters to gab about—and we don’t just mean the adorable video introduction given by Anna Wintour’s brother before her Hall of Fame induction. For a full list of the winners, see below, but first: the Ellies, by the numbers!
