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....

wangKO's

i have been drooling over alexander wang's black platform boots since as long as i can remember - and while i am still holding out for the real deal, once i was able to close my mouth i started a search for some knock offs. i totally HATE the idea of a knock off but hello, it makes no sense to spend $1,000 every time i fall in love with something :)

i still haven't found a perfect replica of the smooth platform lines that the real ones have but here are some of the two i have come across that may make the cut!

ALEXANDER WANG JACQUELYN BOOT $695

ALESHA LEATHER PLATFORM CHELSEA BOOT $117.95 asos
