CFDA Awards

GIGI HADID IS A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW

Everybody tries to outdress each other at the CFDA Awards (Council of Fashion Designers of America) so it’s quite a spectacle. There was a lot of the Same Old Thing, but Gigi Hadid did not disappoint. She arrived with Virgil Abloh, the designer for Louis Vuitton that Kanye West aspires to be, and she’s beautifully attired in LV. Her outfit is layered and complicated with a pants-pleated skirt combo, long 80’s inspired jacket, and sash with crossbody bags. Worthy of a design event.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen seem more at home attending fashion events these days than Hollywood award shows. They’re keeping company with New York’s top designers since their high end collection “The Row” became so successful. The twins, now 24, were covered up in their signature black and white at the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York and brought a model, Sasha Pivovarova, wearing one of their outfits. Being accepted into New York’s upper echelon fashion world is not easy.
