Take Your Front Seat – 2012 CFDA Fashion Award Winner – to The Row

5 Jun

Sporting a darker “do” these days (MK), Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen received the ultimate award, the 2012 CFDA Fashion Award for Womenswear Designer of the Year for their unique collection … the Row.

See feature in Marie Claire:

The Council of Fashion Designers of America, Inc. (CFDA) is a non-for-profit trade organization for over 350 fashion and accessory designers. One of LustList’s favorite designers: DVF – Diane von Furstenburg, who we cover all the time here … is the current Group’s President. She and Seth Myers from Saturday Night Live (SNL) hosted the awards show last night at the Lincoln Center in NYC for the organization’s 50th Anniversary.

For the first time, this show will be broadcasted on Style.com today at 5 p.m. Eastern.

The Row launched in 2007  and is named after a shopping destination in London. This ready to wear brand is very modern with clean and elegant lines and is a little more high brow than Elizabeth & James, which is named after their siblings (refer to an earlier mention in our Blog)!

Other winners include:

Reed Krakoff – Accessory Designer of the Year (j’adore)

Comme des Garcons – International Award (remember the collab they did with H&M)

Johnny Depp – Fashion Icon Award (although, Johnny didn’t show up, we heard it was still a good time)

Stay tuned for more information and products you will soon be lusting for …

So guess who just got the new Elizabeth and James Collection in stores this weekend, yes Saks. This weekend (April 24 – 27th) at Saks is family and friends, so run now and get that 25% off. Apparently, MK (Mary-Kate) and Ashley Olsen came in and introduced the line (named after their siblings) themselves. Secret sources told me they were very nice in person. I have seen them myself, they seem normal enough to me … Getting back to their fashion line, it is amazing — even celebs like Natalie Portman loves it. I literally was lusting after every piece in their collection and they were definitely on my list of things to pick up this month. Everything from a peacock floor length dress to a short little number. We knew these girls was fashionistas, but who knew they really understood the fashion market – go girls!! This is definitely not Heidiwood, the pieces are expensive starting at $300, but worth every penny! Check out the below:

Saks, Neiman, Bergdorf and Intermix all carry the line!
