Marc Jacobs Sews Up Ninth CFDA Award, Rag & Bone Wins for Menswear

Last night Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall got all glammed up for the 2010 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards. While some of this year’s honorees were announced in advance, along with a special tribute to the late Alexander McQueen, there was plenty of envelope-please suspense for the designer of the year and Swarovski award honors (both bestowed in three categories: womenswear, menswear, and accessory design). Womenswear designer of the year honors went to Marc Jacobs, who bested fellow nominees Donna Karan and Alexander Wang to take home his ninth CFDA award.
