2012 CFDA Award Winners

I don’t know about you, but last night I was glued to instagram, checking out designer’s feeds from the CFDA awards and awwing over all of their amazing outfits! Disregarding the Met Ball from the running, the CFDA awards is the Oscars of fashion; so it’s really a red carpet ringer for designers and guests alike to bring it considering they’re entering a room of some of the most creative and iconic minds of the industry… ahhh! One day I’ll make it inside.

The award ceremony was held at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center and hosted by Seth Meyers. The award celebrates the best of American fashion and while it’s an honor to be nominate (no really, it is!), to win is some serious designer credit.
