THE FASHION FUND WINNER 2010

As a follow-up to my former post from October 21, the winner of CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Design competition 2010 is now found.
You can see the first five episodes with the various challenges that the nominated designers should solve along the way here and the last one where they were showing their latest collections in Los Angeles here.

The winner was Billy Reid from Alabama. He loves classic American clothes and describes himself as a traditional American designer.

That is his starting point, that he by using different techniques, details and fabrics renews and makes unique.His style and concept reminds me very much of Ralph Lauren.
But check out his website here and judge for yourself. You can see the actual Award here and read more here.
