Pre-announced honourees included British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful OBE, who received the Media Award in honour of Eugenia Sheppard, Diane von Furstenberg, who was presented the Swarovski Award for Positive Change; Carolina Herrera, who took home the Founder’s Award in honour of Eleanor Lambert; Narciso Rodriguez, who was awarded the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award; Donatella Versace, who was recognised in the International Award category; and Naomi Campbell, who was crowned the CFDA Fashion Icon.
In addition to these accolades, the fashion crowd gathered in the Brooklyn Museum to hear host Issa Rae and her string of glamorous presenters, including Cate Blanchett and Lupita Nyong’o, announce who would take home the top prizes of womenswear and menswear designer of the year. Raf Simons scooped up the womenswear award for his work at the helm of Calvin Klein for a second year, while James Jebbia of Supreme was given the statuette for best menswear.
"I’ve never considered Supreme to be a fashion company or myself to be a designer, but I appreciate the recognition for what we do," a humble Jebbia told the crowd. Others, such as Kim Kardashian West brought a touch of humour to the speeches. When accepting the CFDA's inaugural Influencer Award, she said, "I’m kind of shocked I’m winning a fashion award when I’m naked most of the time."
