More than any other program the CFDA’s Fashion Fund shines a light on the stars of tomorrow. Now entering its 11th year, the fashion fund has served as a peerless launchpad for young design talent and over the years they’ve introduced labels like Proenza Schouler, Public School, Altuzarra and Alexander Wang to a wider audience. This year the top prize went to British-born accessories designer Paul Andrew, who honed his craft at brands like Alexander McQueen and Donna Karan before launching his eponymous label last year. Andrew’s quirky yet sexy wares have been popping up on well-heeled fashionistas since his collection hit stores and his win makes him a force to watch for the coming year. Superstar Joan Smalls accompanied Andrew to the show and looked phenomenal in one of his signature looks.

WSJ always puts a fresh twist on the fashion formula so it seems fitting that the magazine would salute the world’s premiere innovators with a special evening of art & fashion. Luminaries from Beats Electronics founders Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, to revolutionary dancer Lil’ Buck went home with trophies in honor of their contributions to culture, while well-heeled guests like Constance Jablonski, Tao Okamoto, Tabitha Simmons and Derek Blasberg took in the festivities at the Museum of Modern Art. The full set of honorees included artist Kara Walker, chef René Redzepi, architect Sou Fujimoto, designer Nicolas Ghesquière and Girls who Code founder, Reshma Saujani.
