Speaking of emerging designers

I Googled for Erin Fetherston after seeing theing the list of Vogue finalists and found either a fan site (not likely) of Fetherson or an early incarnation of the Fetherston presence online. Someone please clear this up. I am not certain if it was a viral marketing type thing or if it really was her site before she became Erin Fetherston in caps. Here’s a screenshot of the site:

I found it quite interesting in the sense that everyone gets their start somewhere. While watching shows like Project Runway and taking in shows during fashion week that simply won’t allow bloggers in, I get to thinking that wow, these pretentious assholes used to be pretentious asshole interns, lackeys and wannabees. Lest anyone be mistaken, I am not grouping Fetherston in my previous statement. I am merely looking at it from a purely anecdotal perspective.

Ever wonder what MJ (not the singer) did before becomming designer royalty? What about DVF? Were they always rich, were they always holding fashion shows that were locked off to the mere underlings of the fashion world? I wonder.
