The Council of Fashion Designers of America has revealed the nominees for
their Fashion Awards, which will mark the CFDA’s 50th anniversary.
There are five categories this year, along with three honorary awards.
Last year’s "Womenswear Designer of the Year" winner, Marc Jacobs, has been nominated
again, competing against Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for The Row and Jack
McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez for Proenza Schouler. Patrick Ervell, Billy
Reid, and Simon Spurr have all been nominated for "Menswear Designer of the Year." McCollough
and Lazaro for Proenza Schouler grabbed another nomination for "Accessory
Designer of the Year," along with Alexander Wang and Reed Krakoff.
Emerging talents are honored with a Swarovkski award, and the crystal maker
returns as the Awards’ underwriter. In the "Womenswear" category, Joseph
Altuzarra, Chris Peters, and Shane Gabier for Creatures of the Wind, as well as Max
Osterweis and Erin Beatty for Suno, have been nominated. The nominees for "Menswear"
are Antonio Azzuolo, Todd Synder, and Phillip Lim. Rounding out the
Swarovski Awards is "Accessory Design," where Tabitha Simmons, Pamela Love,
and Irene Neuwirth were nominated.
Tommy
Hilfiger will be presented with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award by the
CFDA. Rei Kawakubo will receive the International Award, and Johnny Depp is
this year’s recipient of the Fashion Icon Award.
The CFDA Fashion Awards will take place on June 4 at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, where "Saturday Night Live" writer and star Seth Meyers will serve as host. Who are you routing for?
