Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Show

The Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Show included looks from the 2010 Rising Design Star recipients - The Blonds, Prova, Prabal Gurung, Siki Im, Altuzarra, Salvor and Organic.

Now in it's 9th season, the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation (EDFF) supports the careers of emerging fashion designers, awarding designers in four categories (women's design, sustainable design, accessories and men's design) with a $25,000 grant to go toward creating a fashion show during New York Fashion Week in February.

The Blonds showcased some flashy looks, with this black Swarovski crystal & pearl dress and black/white stenciled ostrich wrap (left) and a gunmetal jersey dress with spike/crystal/maille shoulder detail (right).

Prova, awarded in the accessories category, is all about silk scarves with glass beaded fringe.

Prabal Gurung showed my two favorites of the whole show - an oxidized silver stretch lace and black wool faille dress (left) and a nude ostrich feather dress with laser cut petals and CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski elements (right).
