Fashion News Alert: Nordstrom’s Finalists, Versace Collaboration, and Disney Animates Fashion

CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist

Although there is only one winner of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, the top ten finalist designers will have collections sold at six Nordstrom pop-up shops.

“It’s a great opportunity for our 10 designers have an in-store presence with a major retailer,” contends  CFDA chief executive officer Steven Kolb .

Many of the designers are already sold in smaller boutiques, making this opportunity for an even bigger exposure nationwide. The Nordstrom pop-up shops will feature the CFDA finalists in February 2013.

Versace’s New Collaboration

Singer M.I.A. has revealed that she would be representing the iconic Italian fashion house. M.I. A was spotted at  Versace’s haute couture show this past summer.

M.I.A. has a niche for over-the-top glamour that would make for an exciting collaboration with Versace. At an artist’s talk at the Muesuem of Modern Art, M.I.A. unveiled an image of her desktop which included folders titled “Versace Prints”, “Bootleg Versace”, and “Versace Outlines.”

Although no details of the collaboration have been  explained, it would be safe to say that M.I.A. is going to be more then just a face for Versace.

Disney Animates Barneys New York

The highly anticipated “Electric Holiday” campaign for Barneys New York will be unveiled tomorrow. Along with some of the most popular Disney characters getting a runway makeover, many of  the fashion community’s   industry insiders will be getting an animated new look.

From Pat McGrath, Sarah Jessica Parker to Anna Dello Russo, this year Disney has partnered with Barneys to combine the Magic Kingdom with high fashion. Small brief cartoons will be produced and played on loop in the windows of the flagship store location on Madison Avenue.

The cartoon will also feature Minnie Mouse’s  Paris Fashion Week fantasy.
