Bored today? Check out The Fashion Fund on Hulu. It's a new show that follows designers as they compete to win the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund awarded to up & coming designers.
Previous winners include Proenza Schouler, Doo.Ri, Alexander Wang and more. If the concept seems familiar it's probably because you are tres chic and caught the documentary Seamless by Douglas Keeve on Netflix (if you haven't, do it now). The winner of this competition pretty much gets their career made, so there's a lot at stake (re: DRAMMAAS).
If you watch the Keeve documentary, you get introduced to the young and unknown duo Proenza Schouler, soooo kind of a really big deal. Watch the show so you can be all I TOTALLY KNEW ABOUT THEM BEFORE THEY WERE BIG. Because everybody loves it when you do that.
Watch The Fashion Fund here and add it to your queue, I am!
If you're interested in seeing Seamless, it's available for instant stream over at Netflix. And if you REALLY want to treat yourself, watch Unzipped. It's Keeve's first documentary on fashion (and better) about his then-boyfriend Isaac Mizrahi (whom I am on a personal mission to befriend). It's a beautifully made film, and pretty much inspired me to do what I do. Annnnnd it's just been added to instant play on Netflix so you can watch it right now. Have I sold it enough? Watch it and get back to me.
