The Council of Fashion Designers of America held its annual CFDA Fashion Awards, honoring extraordinary design excellence across the breadth of fashion design and related disciplines. Winners included New York-based Parisian designer Joseph Altuzarra, whose Altuzarra brand won the coveted Womenswear Designer of the Year award, while Menswear Designer of the Year went to label Public School and its design duo Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne. Accessory Designers of the Year went to iconic celebrity sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Fashion rebel Jeremy Scott, who came to prominence for his anti-fashion rave culture referencing collections in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, recently became head of the prestigious Moschino. For his debut campaign for the Italian fashion house’s Fall/Winter 2014-15 campaign, Scott collaborated with famed photographer Steven Meisel. The collection’s runway show gloried in a kitsch aesthetic celebrating junk food and throwaway culture, with the photo series featuring 1990s supermodel Linda Evangelista casting the collection in black and white, no less dynamic through the lens of the master photographer.

Louis Vuitton undoubtedly has one of the most famous most iconic logos in the world of fashion, communicating in a timeless fashion the enduring and luxurious lineage of the product. In a new project called Celebrating Monogram, Louis Vuitton has enlisted six designers to reinterpret the graphic for a new series of bags. Designers selected include Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel, renowned architect Frank Gehry, photographer and performance artist Cindy Sherman, product design superstar Marc Newson, shoe designer Christian Louboutin and the original Japanese fashion iconoclast Rei Kawakubo, designer of Comme des Garçons.
