This year, sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy – the designers behind the Rodarte – have won the Swarovski Award for womens wear in this year’s CFDA awards.
I would like to say that the Swarovski awards recognize emerging design talents such as Kate & Laura Mulleavy (Rodarte), Thakoon Panichgul (Thakoon) or Alexander Wang, in comparison to the rest of the CFDA nominations. The latter seems to repeat itself: Womenswear Designer of the Year : Francisco Costa (Calvin Klein), Lazaro Hernandez & Jack McCollough (Proenza Schouler) or Marc Jacobs… Great designers but enough recognition, no?
