Here are the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards nominees
The winners will be announced on June 1.
It’s impossible to say yet whether there will be another major fashion moment on the red carpet at the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards following Rihanna’s much talked-about sheer Adam Selman dress.
But one thing is always for sure at the CFDAs – it will be a career-defining night for the winners. In the running for this year’s womenswear designer of the year are Joseph Altuzarra for Altuzarra (who won in 2014), Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough for Proenza Schouler, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen for The Row.
The 2014 menswear designer of the year, Public School’s Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne are again nominated for the award this time around. Their fellow nominees are David Neville and Marcus Wainwright for Rag & Bone, Thom Browne, Tim Coppens and Tom Ford.
Accessory designer of the year is between Alexander Wang, Irene Neuwirth, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez for Proenza Schouler, Tabitha Simmons and Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen for The Row, the latter of which took home the prize at last year’s ceremony.
A number of other awards will be presented, including the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award to Betsey Johnson and the Swarovski Awards for emerging talent in womenswear, menswear and accessories. The International Award will go to Valentino’s Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli.
In a first, social media app Instagram will receive the Media Award in Honor of Eugenia Sheppard, rather than a person.
