The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Selection Committee announced the finalists for this year’s award:
Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock of Vena Cava, Richard Chai, Swaim and Christina Hutson of Obedient Sons & Daughters, Alejandro Ingelmo, Irene Neuwirth, Juan Carlos Obando, John Patrick of Organic, Albertus Q. Swanepoel of Albertus Quartus, Alexander Wang, and Jason Wu.
As always, we won’t know who’s following in the steps of Rogan, Trovata, Doo-Ri and Proenza by winning the big $200,000 and industry mentorship until the big dinner gala on November 17th.
In the meantime, we’re looking forward to the big spread in Vogue – we can already see Erin posing tough in one of Alexander’s designs – and the off chance that maybe they’ll put together another Seamless.
Seriously, can we get another Seamless?

I’m still so pissed about ThreeAsFour not getting it last year.
I hope the Sophie and Lisa win – love the detailing and prints they use for Vena Cava.
Seriously!!! Seamless with these new designers….Alexander Wang, Vena Cava and the jewelry designer would be so badass since their aethetics are so different!!!!!
Alejandro Ingelmo ftw. He’s amazing. I am so obsessed with his sneakers, even though I’m not a fan of shiny sneakers, I had to get a pair because they are so beautifully made and look amazing on.
I LOVED seamless. amazing.
I looooovvvveeee Irene Neuwirth’s jewelry! And Vena Cava……but I’d put my money on Alexander Wang as the winner, he’s already a Vogue darling!
hmm…i’m rooting for Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, and Richard Chai. but my guess that either Alexander Wang or Vena Cava will be the winner.
I hope Vena Cava win. I love them.
