cfda/v2010

the winner of the CFDA/vogue fashion fund for 2010 will be announced on november 15th!  unless you have been living under a rock [...or just not as in love with pamela love, christian cota, and alturarra as i am...] you would know ever year the council of fashion designers of america  and vogue team up to aid an aspiring designer financially and to offer professional support to further the designer's vision.  winners of past CFDA/vogue ff include proenza schouler, alexander wang, and doo.ri.  runners up include vena cava, derek lam, rodarte, and 3.1 philip lim.  clearly, this award means A LOT.  this year there are 10 fabulous finalists - altuzarra, billy reid, christian cota, eddie borgo, gregory parkinson, loden dager, moss lipow, pamela love jewelry, prabal gurung and robert gellar.  the instant i heard the list i was all the way behind pamela love to take first place -- but now that i have watched all the vogue videos, (here), i am more obsessed with [almost] all of them than i could have ever imagined!! 


here are some of my favorite images from a few designers....

derek lam WC dreamin

derek lam's spring 2011 collection, a stunning display of all over medium washed denim, was inspired by minimalism on the west coast.  i love how springs trends are mimicking the traditional west-coast dress code and i would like all the pieces NOW because they actually would be perfect for this fall(summer) October weather.  platform sandals = HUGE, snake skin + bags = PERFECT!
