To quote Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny, “No, there’s more!” Head to our Sophie Theallet’s Franco-American draped dresses, Reed Krakoff’s neon cellophane-y separates. It’s the last day, soak it up while you can!
Because of the hideous gridlock that was rampant in the city last week, I sadly missed Fenton’s presentation. Dana Lorenz’s dual jewelry lines, Fenton/Fallon, are among my favorites, and I was really looking forward to seeing this collection. A palette cleanser of spectacular jewelry is always refreshing after endless runway shows. Not to mention, Lorenz is a finalist for this year’s CFDA Vogue Fashion fund, and all eyes are on her creations.
Her inspirations for the collection were Miami Art Deco architecture and 80s Italian design collective, The Memphis Group.

Here’s a few details on each finalist, plus our thoughts on why each one could win, to help you decide who to root for.
