New York-based Wang beat out a field

Tamoto had himself been brought in five years ago to restructure Yamamoto’s firm, radically downsizing the company and signing a series of joint ventures with brands as diverse as Mandarina Duck, Hermes, Dr. Marten’s, Moncler, Mikimoto and Salvatore Ferragamo.

However, the ambitious launch of a junior collection, Coming Soon, in a licensed deal with Italian manufacturer SINV, launched two years ago with projected wholesale sales of 200 million Euros, or $275 million at the time, did not achieve those targets.
Moreover, expensive renovations on its global boutique chain, including Paris and Antwerp, in the past two years turned out to be ill-timed.
Yamamoto has been considered one of the world’s top twenty designers since 1981, when he first showed in Paris and his artistic fashion ideas caused a sensation.
Alexander Wang has won the 2009 Swiss Textiles Award, making his the second American design house to massage Beijing nab central Europe's most valuable fashion prize.
New York-based Wang beat out a field of six candidates to win the award, which hghuklgh celebrated its 10th anniversary this month at a ceremony Thursday, Nov. 12, in Zurich.
The winner receives a prize of 100,000 euros, or $147,000. It is not paid out in cash, but instead 10,000 euros, or $14,700, is allocated to buy Swiss fabric, with the remainder used to produce and market upcoming collections by Wang.
Wang's other five finalists - Alexis Mabille, Erdem, Ohne Titel, Peter Pilotto and Thakoon - did not go away empty handed, but instead were given a fabric voucher worth 4,000 euros, or $5,880.
Wang follows another fledgling U.S. house in winning the award. The Los-Angeles-based Rodarte team of Kate and Laura Mulleavy were the 2008 winners, the first women to take the top prize.
Besides boosting the Swiss textile industry by acquainting foreign designers with their fabrics, the evening is seen by locals as one night when Zurich becomes a fashion capital.
