Khaite’s Catherine Holstein, who won for Womenswear Designer of the Year the last two years is absent in the category this season: is this the year Tory Burch wins big, or will Diotima’s Rachel Scott stage an upset? This year, CFDA chairman Thom Browne is nominated twice, for both the menswear and womenswear prizes, a rare feat; could he swing both? Will Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen of The Row, at this point perennial nominees, add another Accessories Designer of the Year Award to their mantle?
“This year’s nominees and honorees represent the gamut of American fashion creativity and excellence,” Steven Kolb, CEO of the CFDA said. “As our biggest fundraiser of the year, the CFDA Fashion Awards presented by Amazon Fashion significantly contribute to the CFDA Scholarship Fund to support tomorrow’s generation of designers and future nominees and honorees of this special night and we are grateful to Amazon Fashion for their leadership.” Read the full list of nominations below:
