Francisco Costa to Receive Design Award from Philadelphia University

Calvin Klein Collection creative director Francisco Costa, whose spring ’08 aqua column dress we hope that the Easter Bunny is just extremely delayed in bestowing upon us, is the recipient of Philadelphia University’s 2008 Spirit of Design Award. He’ll be presented with the award tomorrow evening at the school’s annual fashion show, which showcases the work of fashion design students and draws an audience of thousands annually. The theme of this year’s show is “Eco Couture.”
