Another year, another more than impressive group of New York-based designers. They’ve kept us interested, they’ve kept us enlightened, and—best of all—they’ve kept us well-dressed. Don’t they deserve a pat on the back?
The 2012 Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Fashion Awards nominees were announced at a cocktail event at CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg’s studio on Wednesday, and it’s another fabulous group.
