The biggest story of the night for me was who did not win. Tom Ford, Prabal Gurung, Donna Karan – they were my faves this year.
Here are the highlights of who did:
Womenswear Designer of the Year: Marc Jacobs
Menswear Designer of the Year: Marcus Wainwright and David Neville for Rag & Bone
Accessory Designer of the Year: Alexis Bittar
Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent: Jason Wu (women’s wear), Richard Chai (men’s wear), Alexander Wang (accessories)
L’Oréal Popular Vote Award: Ralph Lauren
Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award: Michael Kors
International Award: Christopher Bailey (presented by Donna Karan, for whom he once worked)
Eleanor Lambert Award: Vogue‘s Tonne Goodman
Fashion Icon Award: Iman (presented by Isabella Rossellini)
Eugenia Sheppard Award: Paper magazine’s Kim Hastreiter
The Board of Director’s Special Tribute was awarded posthumously to Alexander McQueen.
It was presented by Sarah Jessica Parker and followed by a showing of McQueen’s final collection for FW1o. Wish I could have seen that in person.
Here is another shot of Rachel and Hilary. Fashion friends always coordinate well.
The makeup on so many women tonight was just striking – yet simple.
The grace of the grey carpet continued with these ladies, too.
But the best date a girl could have tonight? It was über-mom.
