Faux fur coat new fashion trends?

Also voted fan favorite, Auld, who appeared on two seasons of the hit reality TV show, will now be serving as a judge representing Brother International Corp. in the Brother Best Handmade Handbag competition at the upcoming Independent Handbag Designer Awards (IHDA) scheduled for June 19 in New York City. The Brother Best Handmade Handbag category competition encourages participants to submit handbags which were made by hand or with a sewing machine for judging. The handbags, which can be made of any material, must be developed under the designer’s own label–no manufactured or factory-made bags are allowed.

“We are thrilled to join this prestigious event and sponsor this particular category,” says Dean F. Shulman, a senior vice president of Brother International Corp. and head of the company’s Home Appliance and Industrial Products Divisions. “We believe that the Independent Handbag Designer Awards completely mirrors what we at Brother promote: a focus on creativity and unique design. Having Anthony Ryan Auld participate on our behalf as a judge and use his expertise to select the winning designer will be a highlight of the woman fashion faux fur coat competition.”
