Pocket hottie Joseph Altuzarra of eponymous line Altuzarra beat out nine other designers to be named the grand prize winner of this year’s Council of Fashion Designers/Vogue Fashion Fund at Skyhigh Soho last night.

GQ made a lofty list of cities that bite the big one in the fashion realm. They hit the nail on the head with some cities, like with the Burlington, VT “Cool hat, stoner” comment, and Boston’s place at #1. But other cities had me questioning. Brooklyn? Manhattan? Kansas City??? Seriously, I’m not sure how NYC made the list, but much of it felt like Gentleman’s Quarterly simply pointing out the pratfalls of fashion in America. We’ve plucked out some locales that are trying, and have documented their fashion (mis?)adventures in street style blogs to prove it. And so, we bring them to you, 6 cities on the brink of redemption from GQ‘s scathing report. You decide if they deserved the beating.

Here are a few pieces from the Creatures Of The Wind collection. The random acorn western tie could be an awesome way to stick out in a crowd full of randoms who take their fashion too serious sometimes.
Thanks to The Fashionisto for the images.
