At the Golden Globes in January, Priyanka Chopra stepped out on the red carpet in a gold sequined and embroidered Ralph Lauren dress and a bold Lorraine Schwartz necklace. Both Lauren and Schwartz are esteemed CFDA Members, and red carpet moments such Chopra’s – who stunned in the ensemble – are worth gold in brand exposure.

If the CFDA’s mission is to strengthen the impact of American Fashion in the global economy, then the red carpet presents the perfect platform for our brands to build recognition on the world stage. We see a strong representation of our designers at some events – the Golden Globes, the Costume Institute benefit, and our CFDA Fashion Awards among them – we want more, so for 2018, we hope to be able to celebrate many red carpet CFDA moments!
