The good folks at Ecco Domani just announced the winners of their 2009 Fashion Foundation awards and some of our favorite designers made the cut including Samantha Pleet and Corpus
The recipients are Lyn Devon, Matthew Ames, Cushnie et Ochs by Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs, and Ohne Titel by Alexa Adams and Flora Gill in the women’s design category. Corpus, by Jerrod Cornish and Keith Richardson, was honored for men’s design, and jeweler Monique Péan won for accessories.The foundation’s inaugural award for sustainable design went to Bodkin Brooklyn designers Eviana Hartman and Samantha Pleet, who create bags out of old leather jackets.
Each of the winners takes home a $25,000 prize which is to be used to help produce their New York Fashion Week show in February.
