Celebrating Parsons’ Grads with Proenza Schouler, Prabal Gurung, and More

by

Last night, following the senior’s fashion show in the afternoon, Parsons hosted a benefit dinner at Pier 60. The benefit served many purposes: to raise money for Parsons’ scholarships, honor Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez and Bonnie Brooks, President of Hudson’s Bay Company, showcase the senior class’ designs, and announce the Designers of the Year. That’s a lot to pack into one evening–and it was a long one!–but considering the benefit raised nearly $1.7 million for scholarships it was completely worth it.

We caught up with attendees Prabal Gurung and Proenza Schouler as well as Parsons grad Harim Jung, who took home the womenswear designer of the year awards and the Kering Empowering Imagination Award. Read on.

CFDA Launches ‘Americans in China’ Program to Strengthen Connection with Chinese Market

CFDA Launches ‘Americans in China’ Program to Strengthen Connection with Chinese Market

by

Over the last few years we’ve seen countless luxury brands stage fashion shows in China–in Beijing, Shanghai, on the Great Wall–in addition to staging their shows in Paris, London, New York or Milan. With Chinese surpassing Americans as the biggest consumers of luxury goods, designers are focusing more than ever on China.

Of course, for smaller labels that aren’t part of luxury conglomerates, China is a market that’s harder to tap into. Enter the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund’s latest initiative, “Americans in China,” which will bring Proenza Schouler, Rag & Bone, and Marchesa (three former CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists) to China to present their fall-winter 2013 collections at the Ming Dynasty City Wall Relics Park, at the Great Wall of China, in Beijing.
