The CFDA Fashion Awards are a night when American design talent comes together to celebrate each other’s accomplishments over the past year, all under one roof in a glamorous venue. While we will miss seeing our CFDA family in person this year, check out some of our designers share their favorite Awards memories below. 

Don’t forget to find out this year’s CFDA Awards winners on Monday, September 14th!

Kobi Halperin

‘Missing that time of the year… my family reunion. Proud to be a member of the CFDA!’

Hassan Pierre

“In 2018 I had the pleasure of attending the CFDA awards with my dear friend, actress, and cofounder of Studio189 Rosario Dawson. That year she wore a custom black dress from her own collection that we paired with some exquisite Forevermark diamond jewelry that of course, was also sustainable. I took this photo just moments after Rosario finished her glam in our suite at The Bowery Hotel. To me it’s shows how beautiful she is both inside and out.”

Carly Cushnie

“I’m wearing ridiculously high heels under a super long jumpsuit in an effort not to look like a total shrimp next my 6 ft. Goddess date”

Mimi So 

“Crazy Asians with Prabal [Gurung] and Phillip [Lim]!”

Alejandra Alonso Rojas

“This picture was shot on our way to the CFDA Awards last year. Both Nausheen and I were wearing custom Alejandra Alonso Rojas. We worked together to make her perfect dress and I could not have been happier with the result.”

Tanya Taylor

“I was really excited to bring Olivia Munn as my date to the 2017 CFDA awards but when we showed up, I was told we had accidentally bought a ticket for the cocktail party only and not the dinner/award ceremony. So we sat up in the balcony, charged our phones on the floor, ate mashed potatoes out of a styrofoam cup (because the kitchen was kind enough to give us some) and then finished the night going out for dinner at Carbone. Olivia was a great sport and we ended up having a blast but it was definitely a CFDA to remember!”

Phillip Lim

“I am so grateful to have received CFDA awards in womenswear, menswear, and accessories throughout the years. The CFDA’s have always been about honoring the individuals that contribute to our beautiful industry, and they have stood out to me as significant milestones for myself and the brand. In looking back at this photo, I am excited for the day we can come together again with a new perspective to celebrate diverse talent and reconnect to our incredible community.”

NARCISO RODRIGUEZ

“A beautiful and memorable CFDA Awards night shared with a very sweet friend and date.”
