Past Vogue CFDA winners doing well

In advance of announcing the winner of the 2006 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award ($200,000), Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour gave a run-down of what’s become of winners past. She also spoke very highly of the award’s career-boosting effects. “In only the third year of the competition, we know that to win a first or runner-up prize is to receive a substantial professional boost. The inaugural winner, Proenza Schouler, is one of the most important collections in New York, and its moving spirits, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, were nominated for Womenswear Designer of the year in 2006 by the CFDA. Last year’s winner, Trovata, has just launched a terrific handbag line… Runners-up winners ($50,000) … have also thrived. Thom Browne, in addition to growing his own brand, is now a guest designer for Brooks Brothers. Michael and Nicole Colovos of Habitual have moved on to become…”

Zara, Cortefiel, Corte Ingles stand up for Plus Sizes

Leading Spanish fashion houses including Inditex and flagship brand Zara agreed an unprecedented move to draw up a beauty “canon” including harmonizing dress sizes after a recent storm over the number of young women suffering from anorexia.

The 12-point package of measures, or beauty “charter” — drawn up with the health ministry — includes a stipulation that shop windows display sizes of 38 minimum (size 10 in Britain, eight in the United States) and that size-46 apparel be placed in easy view in stores under the generic label “large sizes.”

In a joint statement the couturiers said they intended to harmonize sizes in a bid to reduce the possibility of “consumer error” with sizes currently not in sync from one firm to the next.

Aside from Zara, other signatories included Cortefiel, Mango and chain store Corte Ingles as the Spanish firms, most of whom also sell their wares abroad, are reacting to concerns that anorexia is on the rise and that models are “excessively thin.”

About Collegefashion.net

Collegefashion.net is a blog for stylish college coeds, featuring fashion tips for students, the latest trends, beauty tips, coupons for shopping on a budget and advice on how to maximize university life.

Briana (an alias) is the name behind this blog. I’m a blond, blue-eyed college junior and I attend a large-ish university in New England, USA. I’m all about fashion, but unfortunately I wasn’t blessed with rich parents, so I’ve learned the hard way how to manage my money and still look hot. I’m all about well calculated splurges on designer pieces every so often and style on a budget the rest of the time.

My Favorite Designers are Marc Jacobs, Valentino and Michael Kors. For my designer denim fix, I like True Religion Jeans, Frankie B, Seven for all Mankind, and Hudson. I love casual and cute clothes from designers like Juicy Couture, Ella Moss, Primp, Splendid and Rachel Pally. I have a taste for Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton handbags, even though I probably won’t get my first for many many years. I lust over Manolos like any true fashion addict, and don’t even ask me what I would give for a pair of Christian Louboutin heels.

On the cheap, I’m into American Eagle, Amercrombie & Fitch, Guess? and Hollister clothing. I love AE jeans, A&F tops, Guess? sweaters and Hollister leggings. Mix that all together with some designer pieces, and you’ll have somewhat of a picture of my style. Oh, and like any college girl, I also adore Victoria’s Secret Pink everything and own a pair of Old Navy flip flops in every color under the sun.
