The designers are in good company. Brandon Blackwood, Raul Lopez for Luar, and Telfar Clemens for Telfar, are also in the running for the award.
New to the awards lineup this year, the CFDA has introduced a Stylist Award, which will be given to Law Roach. The superstar stylist won a 2021 FNAA for Style Influencer of the Year. In addition, the CFDA’s Board of Trustee’s Award will posthumously be given to Virgil Abloh to honor the late designer’s contribution to global fashion.
This year’s event will also mark the CFDA’s 60th anniversary. The fashion organization said the event this year will be co-hosted by CFDA members Joseph Altuzarra, Gabriela Hearst, Aurora James, Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough. And to honor this year’s anniversary, the CFDA is adding a one-time Special Anniversary Award, which goes to longtime CFDA member Jeffrey Banks.
“The 2022 CFDA Fashion Awards will celebrate not just honor American fashion’s best and brightest talents, but also the CFDA’s 60th anniversary milestone,” CFDA CEO Steven Kolb said in a statement. “This year’s nominees reflect the renewed excitement around American fashion generated by designers who are redefining the future of our industry.”
