“We’re honored to once again support the industry’s brightest emerging designers through the CFDA’s American Emerging Designer of the Year Award. Shop with Google is committed to building technologies that help level the playing field for all brands, and we’re especially excited to play a role in amplifying the nominees’ reach and business growth through grants, helpful Pixel products and access to the Shop with Google mentorship program,” Stephanie Horton, Sr. Director, Commerce Marketing at Google, said.

The CFDA Board of Directors is renaming its namesake award to the Isabel Toledo Board of Directors’ Tribute to honor the late Cuban-American talent. Toledo will posthumously receive the newly renamed award, which Ruben Toledo, the designer’s husband, will accept. The award was originally established to recognize independent designers and to acknowledge individuals whose accomplishments reflect the Board’s values. Past recipients include Virgil Abloh, Norma Kamali, Tom Ford, Michelle Obama, and Michael Bloomberg. The award will now exclusively focus on recognizing designers.

The International Designer of the Year is Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli.

The Positive Change Award goes to Michael Kors for his work fighting hunger through Watch Hunger Stop, his campaign in support of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), and his support of God’s Love We Deliver.

Stephen Burrows will receive the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Media Award in honor of Eugenia Sheppard goes to Annie Leibovitz.

The recipient of the Founder’s Award in honor of Eleanor Lambert is Hamish Bowles.
