Fashioncow Faves Shine at CFDA Awards

Proenza Schouler Fall 2011 RTW – Designer of the Year

Prabal Gurung Fall 2011 RTW – Swarovski Award for Womenswear

Alexander Wang Fall 2011 RTW – Accessory Designer of the Year

This year’s CFDA Fashion Awards (Council of Fashion Designer of America) Nominees was an exciting mix of the industry’s most innovative/talented designers.  And I’m happy to say that the winners were among my favorite artists, and have all been highlighted in Fashioncow’s “Haute4Runway” Category.  It’s thrilling to see someone like Alexander Wang move away from his Wonder-kid title, and toward a solid and well-deserved position in this community. And, of course, I’ve made no secret of my Obsession for Prabal Gurung.  He is truly one of my favorite Designers/Artists – and someone I consider a fellow philosopher.  These people are why I do what I do.  I try to tell the stories I see in their compelling/complex pieces.  And when it comes to Proenza Schouler/Alexander Wang/Prabal Gurung – they all have the most glorious tales to tell.
