What They Wore: CFDA Fashion Awards 2012
As you all know, the CFDA Fashion Awards 2012 were held last night (Monday, June 4th) at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Centre NYC. The list of notable VIP's goes on for miles, so without talking to head off of you, that list included names such as: CFDA President Dianne von Furstenberg, CFDA CEO Steven Kolb, Alexander Wang, The Olsen twins, Grace Coddington, Anna Wintour, Prabal Gurung, Zac Posen, Rachel Zoe, Joan Smalls, Dree Hemingway, Donna Karan and Monique Lhuillier. The list literally does go on for days, and that doesn't even begin to include some other notable names from the world of music, entertainment and sport. Awards presented on the night included: 

  • Womanswear Designer of The Year: Olsen Twins for The Row
  • Menswear Designer of The Year: Billy Reid
  • Accessory Designer of The Year: Reed Krakoff
  • Swarovski Award for Womanswear: Joseph Altuzarra 
  • Swarovski Award for Menswear: Phillip Lim
  • Swarovski Award for Accessory Design: Tabitha Simmons 
  • Geoffrey Beene Award Lifetime Achievement Award: Tommy Hilfiger
  • International Award: Rei Kawakubo of Commes des Garcons 
  • The Media Award, given in honor of Eugenia Sheppard: Scott Schuman & Garance Dore
  • The Founder's Award, given in honor of CFDA Founder Eleanor Lambert: Andrew Rosen
  • Fashion Icon Award: Johnny Depp (First male recipient in five years!)


Although the awards presented last night were notable enough, this wasn't the reason for my post today - my reason was in fact, none other than the outfits which these shining stars wore to the awards! Hardly a surprise though, right?
I've chosen some outfits which caught my attention in one way or another, but if there are any stars which i've missed and you felt were particularly dashing - or not - then don't forget to tell me in the comments section below so I can have another look. Oh, and don't forget to comment below with your best dressed from the list of images i've shown!
