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.

Founded in 2016 by Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tord Founded in 2016 by Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini, The Attico hosted its first runway show on Saturday, on a Milanese street in the Arco della Pace neighborhood. 

Ambrosio and Tordini see the street as the most democratic of spaces, where life happens and fashion truly comes alive. In press with WWD Tordini shared, "We didn’t work over the past seven years thinking about how one day we would have hosted a runway show. That was never our priority, we worked to build the company."

Oozing of a certain cool, the brand is beloved by many fashion creatives, as Vogue noted attendees included Ferragamo’s Maximilian Davis, Gucci’s Sabato De Sarno, Jerry Lorenzo, Moncler CEO Remo Ruffini and DSquared designers Dean and Dan Caten, to name a few.
