For all UTC Round 1 Winners, I have yet to put your sets into a collection - I'm working on it. It will be about 1 more month until prizes will be awarded :)
My favourite affordable brands are BCBG, Necessary Objects, Rocawear (their girly stuff anyway), bebe, Tommy Hilfiger and H&M. My favourite designer labels are of course Dior and Chanel for classic reasons, Moschino (both lines), Michael Kors, Nanette Lepore, Proenza Schouler, alice + olivia, Pink Tartan, Balenciaga, DVF, and Valentino, but my absolute favourite designer is Elie Saab; his designs are breathtaking.
