The CFDA Fashion Awards ceremony, originally scheduled for June 8, was postponed indefinitely amid concerns over the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Winners will now be announced Monday, Sept. 14 on CFDA.com and CFDA's social channels, kicking off the official start of New York Fashion Week.
"In this time of unprecedented challenge and change for our industry, we feel very strongly that it is it important to recognize the nominees representing the best of fashion creativity," Tom Ford, chairman of the CFDA, shared in a statement. "We look forward to returning to an in-person celebration honoring the American fashion industry in 2021."
"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," added Steven Kolb, CFDA president and CEO. "The annual gala serves as our largest fundraiser, and our hope is to continue raising money to support this work through industry contributions."
