The biggest and brightest names in American fashion all came together last night for the 45th annual CFDA Awards, which are often referred to as the Oscars of Fashion. Taking place at New York’s Natural History Museum, the night celebrates the contributions of American designers and honors those who have made an indelible mark on the industry with their illustrious careers.
“Continue to share important stories and do work that means so much to you,” said CFDA chairman Thom Browne at the ceremony. “Work that you couldn’t imagine doing anything else, because the true marker of success is being able to do something you love always at the highest level. And never sacrifice the true creativity and quality of what you do.”
Awards were presented to Ralph Lauren, Rachel Scott of Diotima, the jewelry designer Ana Khouri, and Colleen Allen. Fashion world luminaries were also honored, including Tory Burch, Linda Fargo, Peter Marino, Susan Cianciolo, and Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
The night welcomed a retinue of A-listers to help celebrate, proving that fashion now touches every part of culture, from entertainment to tech to sports. Bold-faced names included the night’s host, Keke Palmer; presenters Zoe Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, Rosé, Lupita Nyong’o, Matt Damon, Naomi Osaka, Demi Moore, and Cole Escola; and celebrity attendees Gracie Abrams, Megan Thee Stallion, Travis Scott, PinkPantheress, and many more.
