The Fashion Fund gets Competitive

For the last few weeks, I’ve been glued to the television screen on Wednesday nights, and absolutely refused to miss an episode of the Fashion Fund. This amazing show offers a lively, at times snappy, behind the scenes, and on the scenes documentary-style footage of some of the most interesting fashion designers around. The Fashion Fund which airs on Wednesday, 10PM ET, stars legendary editor in chief of Vogue Magazine, Anna Wintour, who oversees a competition in which 10 designers get a chance to work alongside industry luminaries to prove they have what it takes to be named Fashion Fund Designer of the Year (this is major, it’s pretty much like winning an Oscar for fashion’s best “newcomer”). The victor will get an injection of $300,000 and a one-year mentorship with some of the biggest names in fashion.

In this video, fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg visits Misha Nonoo. Born in Bahrain and raised in London by an Iraqi father and English mother, Misha Nonoo’s style is modern with a clear tribute to a past that calls for easy elegance. Her design concept signifies a gentle time when simply dressing for grocery shopping was done with some panache and grace. Her daytime, and evening wear are quite terrific. I’ve got my eyes on her, and believe that she is set for victory. Here’s a few pictures of her collections. Are you watching America?

In addition to Nonoo, there are many other outstanding talents on the Fashion Fund.
Check out Anna Wintour’s visit to the dynamic duo, Tome. It is quite intriguing.
