Young Designer Spotlight: Cushnie et Ochs

Cushnie et Ochs just finished up at Parson's School of Design in 08 and they have two collections under their belt already. They debuted their line last year with their Senior project for Parson's to an audience full of influential editors and buyers. They represent a new crop of young designers that don't play it too safe and are actually defining their own style and rules while being commercially appealing. It is important that we (fashionistas) support these young designers as they try to carve out success for themselves and gain entry into this often times elusive and fickle industry we call fashion. Luckily for Cushnie et Ochs, I think that we will be seeing many collections from them down the line! cushnieetochs.com

If you are a young journalist that desires to enter into the world of Fashion Journalism, making Style Sample Magazine one of your favorites is a prerequiste. Style Sample Magazine is a niche in the online world, in that it is a publication beyond the usual blog format designed to highlight, expose, and serve the growing phenomena and world of fashion blogs! In just the magazine's second issue they managed to score a wonderful covergirl, Kelly, the muse, from the lovely blog, The Glamourai. I wish this publication well!
