For the last three years, J.Crew has partnered with the winner and runners up of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund on capsule collections to be sold exclusively in the retailer's stores and online. It's now the class of 2013's turn: Starting on Wednesday, the winner of last year's $300,000 grand prize, Public School, along with both of the runners up, Juan Carlos Obando and Marc Alary, will debut their signature collections for the brand on pre-order. 

Each piece from the range gives customers a taste of each award-winning designer's aesthetic, from Public School's urban, menswear-influenced chambray shirt and mesh tank (as rumored, they did to womenswear) to Marc Alary's nature-inspired jewels to JC Obando's ultra-feminine skirt, which is a nod to his sexy eveningwear collections. Not to mention, they're priced quite a bit more affordably than what these brands usually go for.  Prices in the CFDA collection range from $50 to $500, and will be available for pre-order beginning Wednesday on jcrew.com. The official in-store launch date is June 16.

Juan Carlos Obando: Another Name to Watch

Juan Carlos Obando, sponsored by Swarovski this season, was one of the few designers to tackle the futuristic for Spring 2011. A collection that belongs in both the pages of Vogue as much as it does in the pages of V, it was Mad Men-meets-Martians, if you will. And I liked it. Obando, who is based in Los Angeles, sent out thick silk fabric that was almost plush in its design--kind of like a very, very thin puffy coat. And with prints that reminded me of outer space. (The Swarovski element was present in the black rhinestone beading purposefully sprinkled on the back of a few dresses--it was highly effective.) While the prints were futuristic, the silhouettes were pure vintage. Plenty of peplums and tulip skirts--my favorites. Obando's been seeing buyers at the Swarovski showroom over the course of the week. We're betting his pieces will be stocked in even more retailers come next spring.

Juan Carlos Obando Fall 2011: Lady Luck

Los Angeles-based designer Juan Carlos Obando impressed us last season with his retro, space-inspired glamor. This season was more even more glamorous, but he took the refined look up a notch, sticking with lean silhouettes inspired by Carla Bruni. Also like last season, Obando used Swarovski crystals to create texture and patterns on the clothing. While we were partial to last year's constellations, this collection's black on black styles were more subtle, thus more sophisticated.
