CFDA WINNERS
The Council of Fashion Designers of America held their yearly awards ceremony Monday night in NYC. I was super excited to see two of my faves, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, win for Accessories Designers of the year. I was equally excited to see Joseph Altuzarra win for Womenswear Designer of the Year.
