Designs by Fashion Design alumnus Edward Buchanan were featured in Vice Magazine.

Designs by Fashion Design alumnus and CCAD Fashion Icon award winner Edward Buchanan (CCAD 1988-1991) are featured in the spring 2011 issue of France’s Blast magazine; the spring summer 2011 issue of Italy’s Hunter Fashion Magazine; in Volume 3, Issue 3 of France’s Vice magazine; and in the first installment of Viktor Mag.

Buchanan is the owner and designer of international fashion line Sansovino 6. His spring line was also featured in the Ahead of the Class article in the March issue of W Magazine.

“This spring he has taken on the world of jeans,” wrote J.J. Martin for W. “Indigo knits, washed and distressed by an Italian denim specialist, have been used to create unisex cutoff shorts, jackets, and various pant silhouettes. The five pocket boot cut could be mistaken for a stylishly worn-in pair of Levi’s, but done up in fine-gauge cotton knit, it feels as snuggly as sweats.”

Edward Buchanan, 2010 Alumni Fashion Icon honoree

Edward Buchanan is to be honored as the recipient of CCAD’s second-annual Alumni Fashion Icon award at the 2010 Senior Fashion Show on Saturday, May 8.

Buchanan enrolled at CCAD in 1988 to study retail advertising and fashion illustration. After CCAD, he moved to New York City in 1992 to pursue a career in fashion design. While taking courses at Parsons School of Design, Buchanan worked with prestigious clothing lines Giorgio Armani, Calvin Klein, J.Crew, and Michael Kors. Buchanan moved to Milano, Italy in 1995, and worked for Bottega Veneta for six years. He was hired to develop a capsule collection of knitwear and leather goods to round off the world of Bottega Veneta. The collection was an instantaneous success and helped the brand gain popularity in the ready-to-wear luxury accessories market.

In 2001, Buchanan partnered with fellow Bottega Veneta designer Manuela Morin to release LEFLESH, an independent line fusing knitwear and ready-to-wear garments that brought worldwide success to both Buchanan and the brand. Two years later Buchanan launched another line, Sansovino6, and showcased his fall/winter 2011 collection of Sansovino6 during Milan and Paris fashion weeks. Sansovino6 is sold in Milan, Paris, Berlin, and Tokyo boutiques.

Buchanan joins Amy Butler, class of ’88, as an Alumni Fashion Icon award recipient.
