Back in February rumours emerged that CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner Joseph Altuzarra and runners up Pamela Love and Creatures of Wind would collaborate with J. Crew. Last month the reports were confirmed with Altuzarra's collection dropping shortly after. Today this image hit the net revealing Love's collection for the retailer. The collection, which goes on sale today, marks the designer's first foray into designing clothes and the line is comprised of the Lormier skinny jean and jacket and chevron belt

Get Excited: Altuzarra For J.Crew Capsule Collection Confirmed
Last month rumours started circulating that CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner Jospeph Altuzarra is working on a capsule collection with J. Crew along with runners up Pamela Love and Creatures of the Wind. The news didn't come as surprise. Back in 2010, the high street retailer announced that they would work with the award recipients of that that year - who were Prabal Gurung, Eddie Borgo and Billy Reid - on capsule collections and today Altuzarra confirmed that the reports are true.
'So we worked on a collaboration which I think will be out in a few weeks,' he told Fashionista. 'It was a really interesting project because it was like a conflation of their language — or of their world — [and] of our world and putting it together.” As designer-high-street partnerships go, this is one I'm definitely looking forward to get my hands on. Are you?

New In: The CFDA Award Nominees Are Out
Yesterday Diane von Furstenberg and CFDA CEO Steven Kolb held an event in New York to announce the nominees for this year's CFDA awards. The nominees were not a surprise. The usual names like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for The Row was in the mix alongside Jack McCollough and Lazaro Henandez for Proenza Schouler, Marc Jacobs, Rachel Roy and Alexander Wang.
Last year's fashion icon award went to Lady Gaga leading many to question how they will be able to top that. Even Kolb tweeted: 'How do you top @ladygaga from last yr? We will!' This time the award will go to Johnny Depp, the first male to ever receive the award but while I've always been a fan of his, I'm not convinced that he can top Gaga.
What do you think?

J. Crew Said To Be Working On More Collaborations
J. Crew are a busy bunch at the moment. Last month they unveiled their collaboration with Manolo Blahnik and now reports allege that the retailer is working on a secret project with CFDA/Vogue fashion fund winners Pamela Love, Creatures of the Wind and Joseph Altuzarra.
Although creative director Jenna Lyons hasn't confirmed the project, it seems like a done deal. As you'll remember, back in 2011 they worked with the initiative's winners and runners up on a capsule collection so the decision to partner with the fashion fund again this year only makes sense.
