Gilt Sells CFDA Swarovski Award Collection!

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:00:22 PDT

It's going to be the most talked about event: Swarovski and Gilt Groupe have joined fashion forces to host the sale of the CFDA Swarovski Award collection. The sale hits Gilt tomorrow at noon EST and will carry one-of-a-kind Swarovski-encrusted creations by contenders - such as Joseph Altuzarra, Alexander Wang, and Jason Wu - for the Swarovski Awards. "To inspire the design process, each nominee was provided with an all access pass to the Swarovski Creative Service Center," said Nadja Swarovski of Swarovski. "But at the end of the day it was all about the work of the designer - we are just the sparkling ingredient to enhance and push the boundaries of their creativity." That said, we can't stop ogling Wang's pimped-out Rocco duffel bag. Check out the rest of the designs.

The CFDA Attending Models and Their Designer Pals

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:10:22 PDT

The CFDA Awards is one of my favorite fashion events. Not only do classic and new designers receive awards, but it also brings fashion folk together and honors fashion as a whole. We showed you some fashion-focused arrivals last night before the event, but there were so many other stylish attendees. Actresses, editors, and models showed their support . . . and fun Polaroids captured some epic shots. Flip through to admire your favorite models and their designer pals from last night.

And the CFDA Awards Go To . . .

Last night's CFDA Awards brought out a gaggle of impeccably dressed stars to Lincoln Center in NYC - Sarah Jessica Parker in McQueen, who gave a speech for the late designer, Alexa Chung in Marc Jacobs, and Gwyneth Paltrow in Michael Kors, to name a few. But besides the fashion, the much-anticipated awards were handed out to this year's lucky nominees. Without further ado: Marc Jacobs won for Womenswear Designer of the Year, Menswear Designer of the Year went to Rag & Bone, and Fab favorite Alexis Bittar scored Accessory Designer of the Year. Congrats!

Countdown to the CFDA Awards: Nominees Under Sølve Sundsbø's Lens

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 11:00:22 PDT

Next Monday, this year's CFDA winners will be announced. Our votes are in, the heat is on. The journal to accompany this year's awards is the most evolved yet. Each nominee and honoree was snapped by lens star Sølve Sundsbø and styled by Lori Goldstein with the creative direction of Trey Laird, of Laird + Partners. "We liked the idea of pairing the designers with a reflection of their work and someone who represents their aesthetics," Laird explained. Alexander Wang opted to be photographed with six of his high school friends. Donna Karan was shot solo - Donna pure. As for Marc Jacobs, who missed out due to a scheduling conflict, his image was inspired by street casting for his Fall show: fur-clad models and black and white Marc faces make up an MJ menagerie. Click through for a sampling of the journal . . .
