Photos: The Social Shopper: Support the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund

Hundreds applied, 50 were chosen, and only ten became finalists. For the past few months, we have been tracking the trials and tribulations of the up-and-coming American designers vying for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund prize, one of the most coveted awards in the industry. On Tuesday night at a gala dinner in New York City the winner will finally be revealed. If you have any doubts about the power of the prize, look no further than the sky-rocketing careers of past winners and runners-up, including Proenza Schouler (2004), Rodarte (2006), Alexander Wang (2008), and Joseph Altuzarra (2011), whose line is being worn here by Lily Kwong.
