FabSugar Designer of the Year Nominee: 3.1 Phillip Lim
Behold, the fifth and final nominee for FabSugar Designer of the Year: 3.1 Phillip Lim. This young designer is relatively new to the fashion scene, although those familiar with the label Development, would recognize his fresh tailoring and sweet blouses. In 2004, the designer left Development to start a new line with a friend, and now business partner, spawning 3.1 Phillip Lim.
FabSugar Designer of the Year Nominee: Doo.Ri
Whether this designer wins FabSugar Designer of the Year or not, 2006 was definitely a plentiful year for Doo.Ri. This new designer won both the Perry Ellis Award for emerging talent in womenswear and the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in the past year and based on your response to her Spring '07 collection she may have a third win coming her way.
Doo.Ri has a rags-to-riches story.
FabSugar Designer of the Year Nominee: Louis Vuitton
The third nominee for FabSugar Designer of the Year is what you get when you pair one of the oldest French fashion houses with one of New York's fashion darlings. In 1997, Marc Jacobs was crowned the designer for Louis Vuitton and his collections have been spot on ever since. Pre-LV Marc Jacobs designed for Perry Ellis in 1986, and his tightly-knit polo shirts and cable knit cashmere sweater dresses gave way to grunge.
FabSugar Designer of the Year Nominee: Proenza Schouler
Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, the wonder boys behind Proenza Schouler, are the second nominee for FabSugar Designer of the Year. You all seemed to fancy them when I wrote a Spring '07 runway review and soon we'll all be able to experience this duos designs on the cheap via Target in the Spring (yay!). Though I admittingly still have a hard time pronouncing their design name, a combo of their mother’s maiden names, these boys have earned themselves quite the reputation since their arrival on the scene in 2002.
FabSugar Designer of the Year Nominee: Versace
Oh to be Donatella Versace. Talk about the ultimate jet-setter, Donatella is one of fashion's most decadent divas. While Versace is historically known for electric colored, body-hugging, sex-oozing designs she shined this year with more wearable, tailored collections.
FabSugar Designer of the Year
2006 was the year of the fashion designer. Actually, it was the year of the dog, but to me, it was the year of the fashion designer. This week I am going to profile five designers up for the FabSugar Designer of the Year and then we're all going to vote on Friday.
