CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund announces 3 grand winners --

-- A first, without a runner-up

Aurora James of Africana-inspired ethical footwear line Brother Vellies; 

With Zendaya, both in Brother Vellies shoes, naturally

Jonathan Simkhai with his namesake womenswear label; 

Side by side with model Taylor Hill

and Rio Uribe for streetwear-focused Gypsy Sport 

With Fernanda Ly

bag the CFDA/V FF 12th edition's top prizes.

The three equal winners will each "receive $300,000 to invest in their respective labels, as well as a yearlong mentorship with an industry veteran."

Just a thought I thought: Simkhai and Uribe could be cousins, don't you think?

Congrats!

Valentino + Zoolander Coup

Over at Valentino Fall/Winter 2015-2016 Women's show, as soon as what seemed to be the last look of their impeccable collection,


out of nowhere, *surprise-surprise*  appeared Hansel McDonald (Owen Wilson),


and, (of course) not to be singled out, Zoolander (Ben Stiller), Derek Zoolander, himself, sashayed down on the runway.


Zoolander and Hansel took to the finale their versions of the best 'Blue Steel' look.


This is to confirm that Zoolander 2 is slated to be shown in February 2016.

Apparently Derek and Hansel have come to terms on #Zoolander2 😗

The genius behind this move could be no less than Mama Anna Wintour. She's involved, obvs.
