Voting has commenced for the 3rd Annual Fashion
2.0 Awards, which celebrates the merging of fashion and social media. The brands and designers are nominated by
their peers in the industry, and the winners are decided by you.
There are eight awards this year, including Best Twitter, Best
Facebook, and Best Mobile App. The nominees range from Betsey Johnson to Coach, but Burberry and DKNY are the front-runners with three
nominations each. The voting continues until February 7 at midnight, and you can vote here.
In recognition of their impact on the fashion industry, Gilt Groupe
Founders Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson will be presented with the first ever Fashion 2.0 Visionary Award. Celebrity stylist and TV
personality Robert Verdi will be hosting the ceremony from the SVA Theatre on
February 8, and designer Norma Kamali is a keynote speaker. For
those of you who cannot attend, but still want to watch, the Awards will be
streamed live starting at 7 p.m. on http://livestream.com/fashion20.
