Celeb vote: Who was best dressed at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards?

By Jennifer Campbell | November 16th, 2010 | 4:00 pm

Comments

Last night, menswear designer Billy Reid was awarded the US$300,000 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund prize and the fashion firmament was there–from Kim Kardashian to Karl Lagerfeld and every socialite, starlet, stylist and designer that exists in that rather considerable chasm between. We picked some of our favourite looks of the night and threw in a few outliers because, frankly, the young starlet uniform of a short dress and booties is starting to get a little boring. Who do you think was best dressed? (If you need a better view, there’s a full gallery after the jump.)

CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists Joseph Altuzarra and Eddie Borgo

The 10 finalists for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund have been announced. The first place winner of the fund, which was created to give up-and-coming young designers that financial oomph they need run their businesses, receives US$200,000 and the runner up gets a (very) consoling US$50,000. On the list of finalists are the likes of jewellery designer Eddie Borgo, Joseph Altuzarra, who’s worked with Marc Jacobs and at Givenchy with Riccardo Tisci, and Prabal Gurung, who dressed Michelle Obama for the White House Correspondents’ dinner. Past winners include Sophie Théallet and Alexander Wang–and see how well that went for him.

Karl Lagerfeld has an interesting theory about porn’s effect on crime rates. He told Bruce LaBruce in Vice: “Frustration is the mother of crime, and so there would be much more crime without prostitutes and porn movies…[but] I personally only like high-class escorts. I don’t like sleeping with people I really love. I don’t want to sleep with them because sex cannot last, but affection can last forever. I think this is healthy. And for the way the rich live, this is possible. But the other world, I think they need porn.” [Vogue UK] Read more »
