Photos: The Social Shopper: Support the CFDA/Replica Handbag Store Fashion Fund

Hundreds applied, 50 were chosen, and only ten became finalists. For the past few months, we have been trackings 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. Want to own your own piece of fashion history? Spend your weekend shopping from this year's list of finalists because, you never know—by Wednesday morning, it could be a collectsor's item.
