Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
The results are in. After receiving more than 100 applications for the 2007 edition of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, a jury of who's who fashion personalities has chosen the following emerging brands as finalists in this year's competition:
- 3.1 Phillip Lim
- Band of Outsiders
- Erin Fetherston
- Koi
- Michael Bastian
- Philip Crangi
- Rogan
- Threeasfour
- Vena Cava
- VPL
On a big news day like this, people will be googling these designers' names to learn more about them and their products. Thus, it is surprising that so many of these brands lack a meaningful, proprietary web presence and are therefore leaving it to others to describe their brands to the world. It's such a low-cost way of providing a window into the brand and a missed opportunity for those who haven't taken the time to build a proper website
The winners of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund's $200,000 prize will be announced on November 15, 2007.
