Alexander Wang is a star, a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund star that is. Wang took home the top honor and the $200,000 prize which includes a year’s worth of mentoring, last night at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund dinner gala. Wang started his eponymous line at the tender age of 21, soon becoming the cult favorite designer amongst the modelistas and the downtown cool set. However, Wang, was not the only winner last night at CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai of Vena Cava, and Albertus Q. Swanepoel of Albertus Quartus were this year’s runners-up. Each of the runners-up will receive $50,000 each and a business manager for a year as their take home prize. But we here at Couture would be remiss if we did not mention that Mr. Wang was already a star, as he was also awarded the 2008 Ecco Domani Emerging Designer award previously. Wang’s world indeed!
