10th Annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards {NYC}

The 10th Annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards took place last night November 11, 2013 in NYC. This is the Fashion Life here!

via the CFDA site:

The Council of Fashion Designers of America and Vogue magazine have created an endowment to support the next generation of American fashion designers. With monies raised, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund has been established, the stated purpose of which is to generate sufficient income each year to fund significant financial awards to one or more designers and provide business mentoring. Award recipients are selected by a Committee of industry experts, based on the exceptional talent they have already demonstrated in fashion design and their capacity for future distinction in the fashion industry.

 The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Selection Committee annually selects three emerging fashion designers, who receive:

 (1) business mentoring from an established team of fashion industry professionals, in areas such as business planning, marketing, sourcing, production, exporting, etc. and

(2) to encourage and enable the recipients to pursue his/her own independent design plan (one winner at $300,000 and two runners-up at $100,000 each).

This event helps the Fashion Insustry so much, it's an absolute must {future goal}. Check out my post covering the 2013 CFDA Awards here.
