Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Exclusive World Records Honor for Prince Mario-Max at Heritage Fashion Week

The jacket was gold, and the occasion called for it. H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe received a prestigious Exclusive World Records honor during NYFW International Heritage Fashion Week S05, recognizing global leadership, humanitarian excellence, and cultural collaboration.

The recognition was presented at the 3 West Club in New York on September 10, 2026, as part of an event produced by Prashant Goyal. The certificate, issued by Exclusive World Records under UID EWRLBH20260038 and naming Dr. Anurag Saxena as Chief Editor, acknowledges Prince Mario-Max for distinguished leadership, humanitarian commitment, international presence, and outstanding contribution to promoting cultural understanding, global collaboration, and excellence in the fashion and cultural community.

On stage, he appeared before a large digital backdrop bearing the International Heritage Fashion Week insignia and the message of a Global Leadership and Humanitarian Excellence Award, a crystal chandelier overhead and an illuminated screen behind him. Dressed in a richly patterned gold jacket, he held the framed certificate and later a trophy, marking the recognition as both official and ceremonial.

The event’s branding connected International Heritage Fashion Week with Heritage India Fashions and Ruchi Goyal Crochet, situating the evening in a broader conversation about craft, tradition, and fashion as a shared global language. Backdrops carried ornate gold motifs and sponsor names, creating a composed ceremonial setting for portraits and award photographs.

Awards inside fashion settings do more than celebrate. They help define the values of an event, and this one signaled that NYFW International Heritage Fashion Week S05 prized public leadership, humanitarian ideals, global visibility, and cultural cooperation alongside design itself. For Prince Mario-Max, the honor added another public recognition to a profile shaped by international presence and ceremonial engagement. For the platform, it demonstrated an ambition to celebrate figures whose influence extends beyond fashion into diplomacy, culture, and public service.

Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Prince Mario-Max Hosts International Heritage Fashion Week Season 5

New York Fashion Week welcomes back a distinctly international gathering on September 10, 2026, as International Heritage Fashion Week returns for its fifth season. His Highness Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe serves as event host, returning to the IHFW stage after hosting Season 04.

The venue is the 3 West Club at 3 West 51st Street in Midtown Manhattan, close to Rockefeller Center and Fifth Avenue. Doors open at 1:15 p.m., and the program runs from afternoon runway presentations into an evening awards program, built around Spring/Summer 2027 collections with heritage and cultural identity at the center of the runway conversation.

Producer and founder Prashant Goyal, the celebrity designer behind the platform, pulls double duty: he directs the production and presents his Heritage India Fashions label in the second runway show with a Spring/Summer 2027 wedding collection, bringing Indian heritage craftsmanship into a contemporary New York luxury setting.

The schedule is tightly organized. The first runway presentation begins at 2 p.m., with ICON Fashion Magazine at 2:15, a live dance performance, Rohan Narang Fashions at 2:35 and Willow Bean at 2:50. Jennie Fear’s Willow Bean Studio returns after appearing in Season 04, giving the fifth season welcome continuity. The second presentation opens at 4 p.m. with The Dark Arches, followed by Steevteez at 4:15, another dance performance, Ruchi Goyal Crochet at 4:25 and Heritage India Fashions at 4:50.

Holly Hester joins as red-carpet host, welcoming designers, personalities and guests as they arrive and giving the red carpet its own identity within the day. The combination of a principal host and a dedicated red-carpet host reflects the scale of Season 05: runway, arrivals, photography, entertainment, networking and awards integrated into one experience.

The evening closes with the IHFW S05 Awards Night, recognizing designers, models, artists, beauty professionals, media, photographers and industry figures, the wider creative community that makes runway culture possible.

Tickets are tiered for different appetites: general admission runway access at $75, a premium runway experience at $125, VIP front-row at $150 and an all-access VIP pass at $300 covering both runway shows, the awards night and red-carpet access.

The media backing is substantial. Vogue, Elle, Glamour, Grazia, Harper’s Bazaar and Fashion X Magazine are named among the premium media sponsors, with Smartwater and Perrier as official beverage sponsors.

Season 05 builds on a foundation laid across four previous editions, which featured Heritage India Fashions, Prashant Goyal Couture, Daniel Martinez’s bridal work, Elfida Artinoff, Willow Bean Studio, ICON Fashion Magazine, Franklin Rowe International and Ruchi Goyal Crochet among others. The fifth season keeps the founding principle intact: fashion can cross borders while keeping a meaningful relationship with cultural origin, giving international designers a New York stage where heritage belongs in the contemporary conversation.

Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Diana Mahrach’s NYFW Couture Show Dazzles at 3 West Club, Lands 25 Magazine Feature

New York Fashion Week has no shortage of runway shows. Few of them get the full magazine treatment. Diana Mahrach’s presentation at 3 West Club NYC did — landing a polished feature in 25 Magazine that put the designer, her royal host, and her AW 2026/27 collection front and center.

Hosted by H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe, the evening was couture with a capital C: sequins, embroidery, feathers, sculpted silhouettes, and drama in every look. The magazine described the collection’s language as Arabic opulence meets French elegance, filtered through old Hollywood glamour — and the runway delivered exactly that.

A Host Who Elevates the Room

Prince Mario-Max wasn’t a ceremonial name on the program. He was a visible, engaged host — shaping the evening’s tone and giving Mahrach’s work the public stage it deserved. PR force Norah Lawlor orchestrated world press for the stardesigner, and the room reflected it.

The guest list added its own wattage: Matt Dillon, photographed alongside Mahrach and the Prince in one of the night’s most striking images, plus Consuelo Vanderbilt-Costin and Michael Musto among the notable attendees.

The Details Behind the Magic

Great shows are team efforts, and this one had a strong bench: singer Maria Elis added a performance dimension, Ling handled accessories, House of A did makeup and hair, Chris Avery Bennett contributed creatively, and Regan at Kendal Creations dressed the room with balloons. Photography by David Warren, via Sipa USA and AP Images, gave the magazine its crisp visual record. The feature itself was penned by Norah Lawlor.

With her showroom anchored at 263 West 38th Street, Mahrach isn’t a passing fashion-week moment — she’s building a lasting New York couture presence, one meticulously detailed gown at a time.
