Gwyneth Paltrow and Michael Kors

Last night, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), which was generously underwritten by Swarovski for the ninth year in a row, paid tribute to the winners and honorees of the 2010 CFDA Fashion Awards at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center. The top honors went to Marc Jacobs for Womenswear Designer of the Year, presented by Jessica Biel. The award for Menswear Designer of the Year was presented by Anthony Mackie to David Neville & Marcus Wainwright for Rag & Bone. Alexis Bittar took home the Accessory Designer of the Year Award, presented by actress Dakota Fanning. Fashion icon Iman was presented with the Fashion Icon Award by Isabella Rossellini.

Alexa Chung and Ed Westwick presented all three Swarovski Awards which honor and recognize emerging talent. Recipients in each category received generous financial support from the company as well as exposure to the company’s vast and innovative crystal products and applications for fashion. The Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Michael Kors by Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief of Vogue. The late and great Alexander McQueen was honored with the Board of Directors’ Special Tribute Award by Sarah Jessica Parker for his indelible contribution to international fashion. A live presentation of his final sixteen looks were shown on models who appeared on a custom-built stage by Tony-Award winning set designer Scott Pask. This presentation was the first time the collection has been seen in its entirety since its original presentation in Paris in March 2010.

This year also marked the second annual Popular Vote Award sponsored by L’Oréal Paris. Through a website hosted by wwd.com, the public was given the opportunity to vote for their favorite fashion designer. An overwhelming number of votes were cast. L’Oréal Paris Spokesperson and CFDA Health Initiative representative Doutzen Kroes announced the winner of this year’s Popular Vote Award to Ralph Lauren.

CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg told the sold-out theater “Tonight is the night we designers and members of the industry salute our peers and celebrate their talents. We are a family.” She then went on to speak about the organization’s accomplishments over the past year, including raising $1 million for the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, launching the CFDA Fashion Incubator, working with the Design Trust on the Garment District, lobbying for copyright protection through the establishment of the Fashion Law Institute, and the continued growth of services for CFDA’s 350 members. What a great night for us fashion lovers. Below we have a complete list on winners and tons of pictures for your viewing pleasure.

The Annual Chaplin Awards Gala began in 1972 and honored Charles Chaplin – who returned to the US from exile to accept the commendation. Since then, the award has been renamed for Chaplin, and has honored many of the film industry’s most notable talents, including Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Laurence Olivier, Federico Fellini, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis, James Stewart, Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep and last year’s recipient, Tom Hanks.
