The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists have been announced! This process is something I look forward to following every year because it’s fascinating to watch designers grow and evolve and how the CFDA & Vogue help make that happen. Last year, Joseph Altuzarra took home the $300,000 grand prize and the runners-up, Pamela Love and Creatures of the Wind’s Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters (from Chicago by the way!), took home $100,000.
This year’s finalists are…
Andrea Lieberman of A.L.C.
Greg Armas of Assembly New York
Sofia Sizzi of Giulietta
Justin Salguero, Daniel Silberman & Alina Silberman of Illesteva
Jennifer Fisher of Jennifer Fisher Jewelry
Jennifer Meyer Maguire of Jennifer Meyer
Max Osterweis & Erin Beatty of Suno
Tabitha Simmons
Greg Chait of The Elder Statesman
Wes Gordon
The next step for these finalists is to present their collections to a panel of judges at the end of this month. The best of luck to all of the designers!
