CFDA Awards 2012
The Council of Fashion Designers of America awarded many deserving and talented designers last night including Mary-Kate and Ashley as womenswear designers of the year with their brand The Row, Tommy Hilfiger with a life time achievement award with over 30 years of success, Swarovski awards for menswear to Phillip Lim and the same for womenswear to Joseph Altuzarra, just to name a few.
The biggest surprise of the evening being Johnny Depp having received (not literally since he did not attend the event) fashion icon of the year. Surprising because he is the first male to be awarded this title, although enthused because he IS a great example of someone who is in tap with a true sense of himself and authentically dresses for no one but him while being, in his own way, fashionable. Congratulations Johnny for winning both the hearts of women everywhere and now the Fashion Council of America <3
This year at the CFDA Awards the fashion sense was classic, simple with great colour tones and a lot of focus on exceptional accessories. Also to be seen among many of the ladies were front slits in their lengthy dresses exposing some sultry leg. Here are our top picks of the evening, the rest being able to view at style.com!
