Next Ecco
The Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation is looking for up-and-coming designers for its EDFF awards, now in their sixth season. The designers will compete for a $25,000 grant to help produce a runway show at New York Fashion Week in February. California- based Trovata, Rodarte and Jasmin Shokrian are previous winners, as are New York–based Zac Posen, Peter Som and Proenza Schouler. Applications, requirements and official rules for the 2007 competition are available at www.eccodomani.com. The deadline is Oct. 13, and six finalists (five womenswear designers and one menswear designer) will be announced in January.
