Just announced – Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Board of Directors ratified the addition of 33 new designers to its membership, bringing the group’s total to 406.
“The class of 2011 represents the largest number of designers since the organization’s founding in 1962,” said Steven Kolb, CEO of the CFDA.
Two of the newly added designers are among those I have photographed showing their designs on the runway at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week:
Prabal Gurung
