No positive surprises there, I think-hasn't Marc won this once?

 

[jegg]

Swarovski’s Perry Ellis Award's
...are the only "one time" given out awards for the CFDA

 

[tricotineacetat]

YAY! Olivier is taking the grand price back home...!

 

[JJohnson]

I think that Proenza Scholer might win. They are very young and they need the press. I like the younger designers. Marc Jacobs is already well accomplished so I think they may not give it to him. After all, he has the most celebs at his shows!

I don't think that is what the base it on. Lots of prominent designers continute to win accolades, it's not so much about the need. But I wouldn't mind if they won instead of Marc.

I would like to see that award go to Francisco Costa simply because he had the best collections of the year from those 3 nominees. That is my opinion of course.

I hope Thom Browne gets menswear but I could see it going to any of them really. I also hope Doo Ri wins the award she was nominated for, she's an acclaimed talent in NYC and I would like to see her get some official recognition.

Olivier Theyskens was expected especially after Alber Elbaz last year. Next year it will probably be Stefano Pilati or Nicholas Gheaquire. Surprised it wasn't Ghesquire actually...

No honoree for the Fashion Icon award, bestowed upon Kate Moss last year, was announced.

Interesting. But then there aren't many fashion icons besides Nicole Kidman, SJP, and Kate Moss. I was thinking they might give it to Gwyenth Paltrow or Cate Blanchett wtih Gwyneth having the bigger chance.

 

[kimair]

i would love to francisco costa to win womenswear designer of the year...
his last two collections have been superb...

 

[cutxpaste]

I think Costa should win... I wasn't really impressed with P-S and Marc is already quite accomplished.

Since seeing "Seamless" I've come to adore Doo.Ri and Alexandre so I hope they win too.

NEW YORK -- The Council of Fashion Designers of America has announced the nominees for this year's fashion Oscars, including the big award _ womenswear designer of the year.

Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein, Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler and Marc Jacobs for Marc Jacobs were selected as having made the most outstanding contribution to women's fashion based on their spring and upcoming fall collections.

Ralph Lauren, Thom Browne and Cloak's Alexandre Plokhov are the nominees for menswear designer, and Tom Binns, Marc Jacobs for Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors have been nominated for accessory designer, the CFDA said Monday.

Winners will be announced June 5 at a gala at The New York Public Library hosted by Jeremy Piven, star of HBO's "Entourage."

"New York has given so much to me," the Brazilian-born Costa told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday.

Costa, who took over as creative director when Klein left his namesake company, said he believes his new spring and fall collections represent an evolution that's been in the works for the past three years.

"They state very well what I do, what I can do and what I like," he told the AP.

Jacobs won the womenswear award in 1997, and has been nominated almost every year since then. The Proenza Schouler designers were honored with an emerging talent award in 2003.

Nominees and honorees are selected by the CFDA membership, press, retailers and stylists.

Photographer Bruce Weber and Joan Kaner, former senior vice president and fashion director for Neiman Marcus, also will be honored.

"This year's nominees and honorees reflect the vitality and variety that is the core of the American fashion industry," said CFDA Executive Director Steven Kolb in a statement.

The CFDA also honors up-and-coming designers: Doo-Ri Chung, Kate and Laura Mulleavy for Rodarte and Thakoon Panichgul are nominated for womenswear;

Steven Cox and Daniel Silver for Duckie Brown; Nathan Bogle, David Neville and Marcus Wainwright for Rag & Bone; and Jeff Halmos, Josia Lamberto-Egan, Sam Shipley and John Whitledge for Trovata are nominated for menswear;

Question about past CFDA 2000 International Award Winner?

I read many places that Prada won this award, but I come across many articles that mention Jil Sander was the winner. Was it a tie?... who was it?

Pretty boring as usual. No surprises..pretty predictable,really. And Jeremy Piven? When did he become so fashion concious? Silly.

Pretty boring as usual. No surprises..pretty predictable,really.

of course the usual suspects....so very boring...they just pass the torch around and around to the same people....thats American fashion for you.

 

[Pastry]

i'm rootin for francisco costa! he's done a great job, imo....

also very glad to hear about theyskens, the guy deserves it like no one else

 

[konrad]

in response to Scott:
Pretty boring as usual. No surprises..pretty predictable,really. And Jeremy Piven? When did he become so fashion concious? Silly.

I can't agree more. Why not reward people who are actually innovative and interesting?

And regarding Jeremy Piven... the fashion world can mourn for the future when you have someone like him hosting.

CFDA AWARD NOMINEES ANNOUNCED

So they announced the nominees yesterday and a couple of kids I like were nominated (shocking). I do serve on this nominating committee but rarely does anyone I vote for ever show up on the end list. I was happy to see Thom Browne and Cloak be nominated for menswear designer of the year. FINALLY some fresh blood. Sometimes these awards seem to just go back and forth between five people all the time. Then for the young'uns (the nominations for the Perry Ellis Award) Thakoon, Rodarte (who we love) and, finally, the lovely Doo Ri Chung ( www.doori-nyc.com) was nominated. I must tell you the story of how PAPER started Doo-Ris career about seven years ago when she showed up to show us her work at our PAPER FASHIONMOBILE (an RV we parked in Union Square Park for a day to do a sort of outreach or "star search" for young new designers). Anyhow, about 150 young kids showed up that day in the park to show us what they do. I was holding court in the RV with Mr Mickey, the late (NYTIMES fashion critic) Amy Spindler, and Stefan Campbell (a stylist) and we'd invited (the late) Mr. Geoffrey Beene as a celebrity guest judge. Well Doo-Ri schleeped onto the RV with a bag full of clothes (she was just out of school at the time) and Mr. Beene hired her on the spot to be one of his assistants!! Another young kid who visited us on the bus that day was a kid named Jeremy Scott who was also just out of school and on his way to Paris to intern for Jean Paul Gaultier. Anyway, thought it was fun that Doo-Ri after all these years has been nominated for a CFDA award! Congrats Doo-Ri!!!!
