CFDA Award Nominations Revealed; SNL's Seth Meyers to Host Ceremony

Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) president and GapKids collaborator Diane von Furstenberg last night opened up her Meatpacking District wonderland to host a party at which the nominees and honorees for this year’s CFDA Fashion Awards were announced. Saturday Night Live head writer and Weekend Updater Seth Meyers will host this year’s awards ceremony, set for June 4 at Lincoln Center. Among the other surprises: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s The Row has made the leap from Swarovski Award contender (the five-year-old label was nominated last year but bested by Prabal Gurung) to the big show: womenswear designer of the year, where the diminutive duo will duke it out against veteran winners Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler (the boys are going for a three-peat) and Marc Jacobs, who already has a trio of womenswear trophies at home.
