Brooklyn-based jewelry brand L’Enchanteur, founded by twin sisters Soull and Dynasty Ogun, has been named the 2024 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund winner. Known for their intricate, artistic designs that blend esoteric storytelling with craftsmanship, the duo will receive $300,000 and a year-long mentorship from top industry professionals. The eight-year-old label’s pieces will also be featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” cementing the brand’s place at the intersection of fashion and fine art.
In addition to the Ogun sisters’ win, Jackson Wiederhoeft of Wiederhoeft and Spencer Phipps of Phipps were announced as runners-up in the competition, and will receive $100,000 along with mentorship.
The news was shared by Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas at an intimate dinner held at Monkey Bar in New York City, marking the Fashion Fund’s 20th anniversary. The event celebrated two decades of supporting emerging talent and was hosted by CFDA CEO Steven Kolb, along with Anna Wintour, chief content officer of Condé Nast and global editorial director of Vogue, as well as Zac Posen, Gap executive vice president and creative director.
The CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund, established in 2003, has become a launchpad for young designers, offering both financial support and expert mentorship.
