A Complete List of the Winners From the 2019 CFDA Awards
The New York Council of Fashion Designers of America gathered together at the Brooklyn Museum last night to honor the most influential people in fashion. To say the CFDA Awards is the Oscars of the industry is a drastic understatement. The event always has all the style, tears, and jokes there are to offer.
The pink carpet‚—technically a green carpet, made of custom-made ECONYL regenerated nylon produced from recycled waste—featured everyone from Ciara to Bella Hadid decked out in custom-made designer goods. Hasan Minhaj and Jessica Williams hosted the gala, where the former joked that because he grew up shopping at Ross and Tar-jay, he didn’t know anyone there. Rick Owens couldn’t be there to accept his award because he’d missed his flight. Yara Shahidi presented Barbie an award that was previously given to Gloria Steinem. Tom Ford served his first year as chairman, and awarded friend and collaborator Jennifer Lopez with the Icon Award. “Thank you for everything,” she said to Ford. “I love our relationship….You’ve really made it a powerhouse and I know that in our house, Alex couldn’t survive without you. I’d like to think it’s me that he can’t live without, but it’s really you he can’t live without!”
