On May 21, Texas’ Next Top Designer held a gala at LFT in Victory Park to introduce the top 10 finalists and announce the 2009 winner. Sew Sister, designed by Austin’s Megan Summerville, was announced as the winner and received a prize package worth $40,000 for her lingerie line.
While the night was all about the designers’ designs and the models, Top Trendsetter found two diamonds in the rough, who we are sure will be up and coming designers in the years to come. Jenna Cruciani, in a purple BCBG ruffle dress, and Brittany Kile, in blue mini with a Betsey Johnson pump, are seniors in the Dallas area who are both enrolled in FIDM San Diego for fashion design. In talking to these girls, they have an eye and a passion for fashion. Jenna’s style is more classic, while Brittany likes to add a little funk with her shoes and accessories. Keep their names in your little black book, as they are sure to design some big hits soon!
Here are Top Trendsetter’s picks for the night in various categories:
Vintage: House of Dang by Doug Voisin & Andrew Bayer
Classic: Ann Hoang by Ann Hoang
Kids: Sadie loves Kiki by Trish Hurless
Simple & Sophisticated: Ross Bennett by Ross Bennett
Accessories: eddiejo jewelry by Eddie Nelson Barrett

Going into summer it feels like our country is finally on a slow upswing again, and there is no reason your clothes should not reflect this ladies (and guys, too!). This time is full of hope and hot pink, the bright-side and bold blue, the sun and the happiest yellow you can find. Get the picture? Just remember that wearing color is like being out in the hot summer sun…you don’t want to OVER-do it. Pick one piece of your wardrobe that is nothing but a solid, vibrant, happy color and keep everything else pretty neutral. You don’t want people to come up to you and say, “1985 called and they want their clothes back,” do you? I didn’t think so. Take baby steps. Wear a pair of hot coral pumps and work your way up to a sunny yellow dress. Now go enjoy this fabulous weather, and don’t forget the sunscreen!
