The CFDA Fashion Awards ( Council of Fashion Designers of America) is an award ceremony that celebrates excellence in fashion. The 2012 ceremony took place on Monday June 4 at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall in New York. This year is the first year the CFDA awards has been broadcast and you can watch it on Style.com. This is also the first year I have even heard of the awards and I am so glad I did because now I am even more indulged into the wonderful world of fashion! Unlike all my other award show posts where I pick out my favorite red carpet outfits, I decided to compile a mix of outfits. Everyone who attended the CFDA Awards were dressed to the nines that it was much to hard to chose from! I love that each guest was very relevant in fashion and not just anybody, each outfit represented their very own style. A variety of hi-low gowns, pants suits, cut outs, gorgeous bags and shoes, and of course amazing beauty walked the red carpet.

The fabulous winners of thee night included:

Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award: Tommy Hilfiger

Womenswear Award: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for The Row

Menswear Award: Billy Reid

Emerging Talent Award for Ready-to-Wear:

Joseph Altuzarra (womenswear), Phillip Lim (menswear), Tabitha Simmons (accessories)
