In recent years, the American fashion industry has cultivated emerging talent like Return to Tiffany Heart Lock Cuff other fashion capital. The CFDA Fashion Incubator, celebrated on Wednesday, is further proof of it.
The initiative consists of a full floor at 209 West 38th Street, where 12 up-and-coming designers have taken two-year leases for studios at rents from $1,000 to $2,000 far below the market rate for space so centrally located in the Garment District. It also provides mentorship from industry professionals.
The incubator was launched by the Council of Fashion Designers of America with Mayor Michael Bloomberg in partnership with Newmark Holdings and the New York City Economic Development Corp.
It’s a great example of what the CFDA, the city and the landlords can do when we come together, Diane von Furstenberg said during a walk-through of the space. I hope it’s the beginning of a movement.
Seth Pinsky, president of the NYCEDC, which is giving the CFDA $200,000 toward the Tiffany Somerset dangle cuff Incubator, echoed the sentiments. It’s very important for the city to nurture its talent, Pinsky said. Our hope is that we will be able to announce a whole set of initiatives that build upon what we have here.
If it all felt a little bit like an upscale mall, then so be it. All the designers are really talented, they are all together here, and it’s a one-stop shop, von Furstenberg said. We are working with the city on all kinds of ideas.
The 12 designer firms are Alice Ritter; Waris Ahluwalia from House of Waris; Prabal Gurung; Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne of Public School; Bibhu Mohapatra; Grant Krajecki of Grey Ant; Rachel Dooley of Gemma Redux; Joel Diaz from Jolibe; Sang A Im-Propp of Sang A; Justin Giunta from Subversive Jewelry; Yuvi Alpert and Danna Kobo from Ruby Kobo, and Tom Scott. Each designer was on hand on Wednesday to show off their brand-new spaces, and many had put much effort into giving the spaces a personal touch with decorative elements that underline their fashion philosophies. Gurung, for instance, divided his space into three smaller rooms dedicated to design, operations and a sales showroom.
For many of the designers, this is the first time they are working outside of Butterfly key ring apartments. I really feel like I am grown-up now, Scott said. I guess I am a bit of a later bloomer.

The Salvation Army held its “Big Ring” event Tuesday, officially starting the tiffany jewellery bell ringing request for donations that goes along with the holiday season.
Officials were hoping to raise $12,000 in just 12 hours, with multiple kettles stationed around the Valley Dairy at North Washington Street and University Avenue. The goal of the kettle drive, which goes until Christmas, is to raise $106,000, plus an additional $154,000 in mail and online donations.
Salvation Army Maj. Ed Wilson said volunteers began ringing bells last week, but Tuesday’s event was the official start. “This is really where we get the fundraising going,” he said. “We always look forward to this event because it really does get people excited for the season.”
The snowy weather Tuesday was maybe even a boost to the event because “people are feeling more Christmas-y,” Wilson said.
A big attraction
This year’s “Big Ring” became somewhat of a tourist trap Tuesday with the addition of “Big Sal,” money clips the world’s largest kettle, on loan from Salvation Army offices in the Twin Cities. The 8-foot-by 8-foot kettle is similar in some ways to towns that boast of having the world’s largest bass or largest buffalo, Wilson said.
Weighing more than a ton, “Big Sal” was an eye-catching sight in the Valley Dairy parking lot. He said he got a lot of curious looks from UND students as he drove it down University Avenue early Monday morning after picking it up in Minneapolis.
The kettle will make its rounds around North Dakota and Minnesota the next few weeks.
Wilson said the holiday charity drive is the Salvation Army’s major campaign. “One-third of our budget is raised in a very short six weeks,” he said.
That money is important because of the programs it provides to people in Grand Forks, East Grand Forks and all of Grand Forks County, Wilson said. The Salvation Army offers housing assistance, prescription medicine assistance and youth programs, and also runs a food shelf.
But many in the area associate the Salvation Army with the organization’s emergency disaster assistance, especially important during spring flooding along the Red River Valley.
New this year
Donors may notice a few changes this year — including the switch from metal to plastic kettles, which are designed pendants more securely and make it harder for people to grab a few bills out of the kettle.
And donating will be easier this year, with the addition of $1 “paper kettles” for purchase at local businesses. There are 22 local bell ringing sites this year, more than in the past, with new additions including L&M Meats and all Hugo’s locations. The previous locations will still be involved, including the Columbia Mall, Wal-Mart and Grand Cities Mall.
Some kettles in other parts of the country can even accept credit cards, but those are just on a trial basis and Grand Forks isn’t yet participating, Wilson said. But donors can still give cash, coins and checks at the local kettles, or can donate online by visiting www.thesalarmy.org and following instructions to designate the gift to the Grand Forks Salvation Army.
Wilson said the poor economy has made it harder than ever to get donations. “It’s going to be tough,” he said. “Some of our donors aren’t giving as much as they did last year.”
In fact, many donors only gave 50 percent of the amount they had donated in the past, he added. Still, Wilson seemed earrings optimistic his organization would be able to raise its $260,000 total goal before Christmas.
He’s spent 25 years with the Salvation Army, including about 18 months now in Grand Forks, but didn’t have to think twice when asked if he is sick of listening to the bell ringing each year.
“Never,” Wilson said. “When I hear the bell, it really is ringing in the sound of hope.”
