The CFDA names the 2010 ten fashion finalists.
Some of these will be household names in the future, think Thakoon, Rodarte, Trovata, Proenza Schouler and Erin Fetherston.
Why the endowment was set up (via cfda.com):
The Council of Fashion Designers of America and Vogue magazine have created an endowment to support the next generation of American fashion designers. With monies raised, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund has been established, the stated purpose of which is to generate sufficient income each year to fund significant financial awards to one or more designers and provide business mentoring. Award recipients are selected by a Committee of industry experts, based on the exceptional talent they have already demonstrated in fashion design and their capacity for future distinction in the fashion industry.
The ten fashion finalists for the CFDA/VOGUE Fashion Fund Initiative are:
ALTUZARRA – Joseph Altuzarra
BILLY REID – Billy Reid
CHRISTIAN COTA – Christian Cota
EDDIE BORGO – Eddie Borgo
GREGORY PARKINSON – Gregory Parkinson
LODEN DAGER – Oliver Helden and Paul Marlow
MOSS LIPOW – Moss Lipow
PAMELA LOVE JEWELRY – Pamela Love
PRABAL GURUNG – Prabal Gurung
ROBERT GELLER – Robert Geller
VOGUE will feature the designers in their November issue. A winner will be announced at a later date.
Fabulous, darling
