On Monday night, Alexander Wang took home $200,000 and a year’s worth of mentoring. Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai of Vena Cava and Albertus Q. Swanepoel of Albertus Quartus were this year’s runners-up, and will each receive $50,000 and a business mentor.
The fund was founded by the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Vogue and is seen as an accelerator of fashion careers. Previous winners were Rogan in 2007, Doo-Ri Chung in 2006, Trovata in 2005 and Proenza Schouler in 2004. Past runners-up were 3.1 Phillip Lim, Philip Crangi Jewelry, Rodarte, Thakoon, Derek Lam, Thom Browne, Cloak and Habitual.
Don’t get me wrong, I think the one-shoulder dress is a great trend, but I am very skeptical that this trend will last until the Spring/Summer 2009 season. I am making a fashion scrapbook, which will be available very soon, that showcases just a few of the designers who displayed their one-shoulder dresses at all the fashion weeks. Nonetheless, there are currently so many celebrities wearing the one-shoulder dress on the red carpet that I feel that it will lose its appeal by the Spring 2009 season. Will T.I.L. Darling Clothing Boutique be holding the one-shoulder dress this Spring? Yeah, of course, but I’m pretty sure we’ll be wary about the number of them we hold.
