After four months of grueling Project Runway-style competition between ten finalists, agendered sportswear line (and designer of the new White Castle uniform) Telfar was announced the winner of the CFDA/'Vogue' Fashion Fund. The brand's head designer Telfar Clemens walked away with a $400,000 prize and mentorship advice, while the runners-up, sexy swimwear line Chromat and eyewear designer Ahlem received $150,000 each. Holding his trophy, he told the New York Times, "I'm taking this thing home to Queens."
Congratulations Telfar!
