anyway, i'm glad they put carolina herrera in the list. her last spring and fall shows had some very pretty clothes
hererra for womenswear kors or seanjohn for menswear jacobs for accesories i know P.diddy is a rapper/producer and really shouldnt be doing the whole fashion thing like all the other sickening celeb labels out there but.....his label is actually vey very amazing which leads me to think that he has absolutely nothing to do with it apart from the final wave on the runway...
I'm pulling for new kids on the block Proenza Schouler and Hollywould... yes, I know Zac Posen is a new kid, too, but he had much more hype about him...
*Womenswear Designer of the Year: Marc Jacobs (for his signature collection)/Rodriguez for his beautiful cuts *Menswear Designer of the Year: Michael Kors *Accessory Designer of the Year: Marc Jacobs *Swarovski's Perry Ellis Award for Ready-to-Wear: Proenza Schouler (Lazaro Hernandez & Jack McCollough)--> like their collection a lot! *Swarovski's Perry Ellis Award for Accessory Design: Brian Atwood btw puffy as designer ...I guess it's just some marketing trick to sell the clothes
