Lady Gaga Nominated for Fashion Icon CDFA Awards for Starting ‘Fashion Revolution’ (Full List of CFDA 2011 Nominees)

Share |

CFDA 2011 nominees have been announced finally. And some names on the list came as a great surprise to me. For example, Lady Gaga is going to receive Fashion Icon Award as someone who’s started the fashion revolution. Diane von Furstenberg, CFDA president, said all the votes for the category ‘went her way’.

Lady GaGa

Marc Jacobs along with Proenza Schouler are nominated for Womenswear Designer of the Year. And the third person to join these designers is Alexander Wang, who’s taken home two CFDA awards already, two years in succession. He is actually nominated for three categories, the one already mentioned, Accessory Designer of the Year and Swarovski Awards for Menswear. So, he will definitely win at least one. Good luck anyway!

I’m also happy to see the Olsen sisters as nominees for the Swarovski Award for Womenswear category for their The Row line. I do hope they take the accolade.
