young designer

The Internet has proven to be a rewarding medium for young fashion labels and independent designers. In proving that, MyItThings, online magazine of user-generated content, announced the launch of the "It" Designer Contest, the ultimate opportunity for aspiring designers.

I checked the 25 semifinalists and these three young designers got my attention with their innovative ideas. First one, I mean my favorite and hopeful the final winner, is mysterious Kimba from New York, only 23 years old.

Here is a good proof that fashion blogging can lead to success. I'm proud to announce that fellow blogger Diana Bobar from SoFash'on launched this very month a fresh new fashion label, called DBD. Diana, a Romanian talented art student started blogging in search of a way to express her thoughts on fashion, art and lifestyle. Her blog is also used as a "showroom" where she displays her designs.
