CFDA Announces 2020 Fashion Awards Winners
Including Kerby Jean-Raymond, Telfar Clemens and Christopher John Rogers.
Accompanying the start of New York Fashion Week, the CFDA has announced the winners of its 2020 Fashion Awards. In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the trade association forewent a glitzy awards ceremony and instead, unveiled the names of the winning designers on its new digital RUNWAY360 platform.
Though this year’s nominees were overwhelmingly white, three Black designers — Kerby Jean-Raymond of Pyer Moss, Telfar Clemens of Telfar and Christopher John Rogers — took home prizes in half the award categories. Jean-Raymond won Menswear Designer of the Year, while Clemens was awarded Accessories Designer of the Year for Telfar’s logo bags, which have become a cultural phenomenon in-and-of-themselves. Rogers, who snagged the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2019, secured Emerging Designer of the Year. Remaining winners include Gabriela Hearst for Womenswear Designer of the Year, Pierpaolo Piccioli of Valentino for International Women’s Designer of the Year and Kim Jones of Dior for Global Men’s Designer of the Year.
