The Happening: CFDA Award Winners

The Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards recognized the best designers and icons of the fashion world last night, giving honors to those who pushed boundaries and blew minds the past year.

Among the most notable winners were my idol Scott Sternberg of Band of Outsiders and Italo Zucchelli of Calvin Klein who were tied(!) for the Menswear Designer of the Year distinction. (Michael Bastian was the third nominee, must suck for him!)

Marc Jacobs deservedly walked away with the International Award and Jim Moore of GQ was given the Eleanor Lambert Award for his years of creative work for the men's magazine. Congratulations to all the winners and go defend the crown, idol!
