CFDA AWARDS: AND THE WINNERS ARE
Yesterday Caitlyn Jenner made her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair; breaking the Internet and stealing her daughter’s thunder in the process. Kim is, if you couldn’t tell by the baby bump poking through her Proenza gown at the CFDA Awards, pregnant, with her second child. Speaking of the CFDA Awards, yesterday the Council of Fashion Designers of American recognised outstanding contributions to American fashion. Contributions such as Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli’s for Valentino, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s for The Row and Tom Ford’s for, well, Tom Ford.
