Dear Shaded Viewers,

It was a hard decision for the jury but in the end they awarded Alexander Wang the 100,000 EUROS prize. He gave a sweet and humble speech saying the award went to all of the designers and he  said that no matter how big his business was, winning this award was  like the cherry on the cake. His business is valued at 20,000,000 $+.. He totally reminds me of Marc Jacobs at the same age and no doubt will have the same success or should I say continued success..
