I was reading this post on ONTD about the winners of last night's CFDA awards
http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/73493935.html
It basically talks about the 3 winners coming from rich backgrounds. I don't really follow the CFDA awards that much, but I find it a bit absurd that the winners already have the funds to further their business. Yes, they're all talented (I adore Tabitha Simmons), but they honestly don't need the funds. Isn't the sole purpose of the CFDA to help upcoming designers that don't have the funds to help them establish themselves in the industry? What do you guys think.
