The 2011 fffashion design contest winners!

Born Free USA and leading environmental publication, E Magazine, are proud to announce the 2011 winners of the 3rd Annual fffashion — the fur free fashion design competition promoting the ethical and environmental benefits of foregoing fur fashions.

The 2011 entries were judged and winners selected by two-time Emmy Award-winner Julia Barr, longtime star in "All My Children" and an outspoken animal supporter, actress Kristin Bauer, who plays Pam on HBO's hit series True Blood; Brita Belli, editor of E / The Environmental Magazine; Rachelle Carson-Begley, co-star of Living with Ed on Discovery's Planet Green; and international designer Elizabeth Emanuel, perhaps most famous for creating Princess Diana's wedding dress.

Entries from all designers (student and independent) were judged together and all were eligible for the First place, Second place, and Third place awards and prize packages. The highest ranking design by a student designer was also awarded recognition and the special Green Award was judged by Summer Rayne Oakes.

And the winners are...
