With all the changes besetting fashion right now, one might have expected the CFDA to think outside of the box. Still, not much has changed: The majority of the nominees for the 2020 Fashion Awards are big-name designers who’ve already won in the past

The annual event, originally scheduled for June 8 at the Brooklyn Museum, was postponed indefinitely, meaning that Eastern Parkway wouldn’t be turned into a runway this time around.
Still, as Vanessa Friedman at the New York Times points out, not so much has changed. The majority of the nominees are big-name designers who’ve already won several awards in the past. CFDA chairman Tom Ford, for instance, is nominated for both Womenswear and Menswear Designer of the Year. The same goes for Marc Jacobs, who’s nominated this year for American Womenswear Designer of the Year, as well. The Olsen twins round out the list of familiar names that are often nominated.
CFDA president and CEO Steven Kolb says supporting BIPOC designers is one of the group’s current priorities. “In lieu of the in-person event, we will be prioritizing new and existing programming to support our designer community during the global pandemic — by redirecting efforts towards next generation scholarships and making important changes to bring racial equity to the fashion industry,” he said in a press release.
American Accessories Designer of the Year: Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen for The Row, Gabriela Hearst, Jennifer Fisher for Jennifer Fisher Jewelry, Stuart Vevers for Coach, and Telfar Clemens for Telfar.
