Alexander Wang Wins CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Prize

As followers of the UnBeige Twitter feed learned only moments after it was announced, boy wonder Alexander Wang (at right) has won the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA)/Vogue Fashion Fund Prize, beating out nine other finalists to take home $200,000 and as much business mentoring as he can stand. The 24-year-old Lower East Sider is known for his gritty separates that on the runway are transformed into coveted gestalts of urban insouciance. Runner-up honors (and $50,000) went to Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai of Vena Cava and Albertus Q.
