CFDA Award Nominees Announced For 2017; Raf Is Going To Win At Least One Award

March 26, 2017. Leave a Comment

New York’s Council of Fashion Designers of America, Inc. (CFDA) has announced the nominees for its 2017 CFDA Fashion Awards, which take place June 6,2017. Nominees are voted on by the organization’s membership, which consists of more than 500 of the top U.S. womenswear, menswear, jewelry and accessory designers, as well as top retailers, journalists, stylists and influencers.

The event includes a Fashion Icon Award (announced prior to the event), which notably went to Beyoncé in 2016. This year it will be awarded to Franca Sozzani, who passed away in December 2016.

One of the ongoing complaints about the awards is that the same designers are nominated year after year. For the top three awards, we included last year’s nominees and winners to compare, and indeed, there are quite a few repeat nominations.

There are some newcomers, including new Calvin Klein designer Raf Simons, who is nominated for Designer of the Year for both womenswear and menswear. Given that he provides fresh blood and he’s highly regarded, we’re going to go out on the smallest of limbs and say he will win at least one award.

To address some of the criticism around sameness, the CFDA did add an emerging talent award this year, and we’re excited to see one of our faves, Virgil Abloh of Off White is up for an award.

Given the mean things Simons said about Abloh, will there be a moment when they meet, shake hands and let bygones be bygones or will they stay camped at their respective white-cloth-covered tables, eating their baked chicken, with each icily pretending the other doesn’t exist If the person who handles seating arrangements had a sense of humor, they’d at least be sitting at adjacent tables.

Check out the nominees and honorees for 2017, as well as last year’s nominees and winners for the top awards below.

You're looking at Margeret Zhang, the newly appoin You're looking at Margeret Zhang, the newly appointment Vogue China editor-in-chief. At 27, she's Vogue's youngest edtior. Born in Australia, Zhang began her career in fashion in 2009 with a blog titled Shine By Three. While blogging, Zhang was also attending school and posseses a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Law from the University of Sydney. 

While Zhang looks dope and it's wonderful to see her appointment, according to recent reporting on Conde Nast pub Bon Appetit by Reply All podcast (which, ironically, is currently going through it's own diversity meltdown), chief Anna Wintour first put the word out to staff to hire more editors of color in 2018, yes, 2018, a mere three years ago!
INSANE STORY AHEAD: Lady Gaga's dog walker was sho INSANE STORY AHEAD: Lady Gaga's dog walker was shot in Los Angeles by individual who then stole two of three of her French Bulldogs! The crime took place at 10 PM on Wednesday night in Hollywood. 

According to a recent TMZ update, crime scene video has emerged showing a white car rolling up on the dog walker. Two men emerge from the vehicle and one, who is brandishing a gun, tells the dog walker, "Give it up."

The dog walker put up a fight (!!) before the gun goes off, striking him in the chest. The two thiefs each grab one dog and flee the scene. In the video, the black dog shown here, whose name is Asia, manages to escape and is shown running back to the fallen dog walker. 

Gaga, who is currently in Rome working on a project, is currently offering at $500,00 award for the safe return of Koji and Gustav (on the slide). The dog walker was hospitalized but thankfully will recover.
