The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has announced the winners of the 2020 edition of the CFDA Fashion Awards.
On Monday, Chairman of the CFDA Board Tom Ford announced the winners via a video that initially premiered on the Council's new RUNWAY360 platform. Thanks to COVID-19, of course, the traditional ceremony was postponed indefinitely after originally being slated for June 8.
Kim Jones, whose competition in the category including Virgil Abloh and Dries Van Noten, has been named by the CFDA as the International Men's Designer of the Year. The International Women's Designer of the Year category, meanwhile, saw Pierpaolo Piccioli for Valentino beating out Rick Owens, Miuccia Prada, and more.
