Roberto who??

Ever since the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund started in 2004, fresh designers have been getting increasingly into the spotlight. When did Proenza Schouler start their line? 2002....and just this past year tied with legendary Oscar da le Renta for womenswear designer of the year.

Vogue's current issue does a story with Kate Boseworth and "the hottest" designers....is it coincidence that every single name was at one point a nominee or the winner of the CFDA fund? Or is just that people are starting to appreciate new and innovating designs over premium names such as Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, etc.
