And the Stylish Nominees Are…


What: 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards
When: June 15, 2009
Where: Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall


Yesterday the Council of Fashion Designers of America announced the nominees and honorees for the 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards. For the first time in CFDA Awards history, trendsetter Marc Jacob’s name was called three times. In June, Marc will receive the International Award for his work at Louis Vuitton, and will compete with the Proenza Schouler duo and Vera Wang for the Accessories prize. Just when you thought he put the Stephen Sprouse inspired graffiti LV boxing gloves away, Jacobs will also be going against Narciso Rodriguez and Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy for the coveted Designer of the Year title.
As far as honorary awards go, “WWD’s Ed Nardoza will take home the Eugenia Sheppard Award, Anna Sui will receive the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement statuette, and the Eleanor Lambert Award will go to GQ’s Jim Moore. The Swarovski Award for womenswear nominees are Thakoon Panichgul, Alexander Wang, and Jason Wu, and the Swarovski Award for Accessory Design noms are Justin Giunta, Alejandro Ingelmo, and Albertus Quartus.” Can’t wait to see who wins!
