Diane Kruger presents CFDA awards in New York

By Laurelle Gilbert | Posted: Tue 16 Jun 2009

Last night design duo Rodarte received the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year award, presented by Diane Kruger in New York.

Fashion's biggest names as well as a host of Hollywood style mavens flocked to New York last night for the US fashion industry's equivalent of the Oscars. The big award of the evening went to Rodarte sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy (pictured) while Marc Jacobs (a previous Designer of the Year winner) scooped the International Award.

Fashion's wonderkind Alexander Wang won the Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent, Anna Sui was honoured with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, Ralph Lauren was honoured with the first People's Choice Award, while First Lady Michelle Obama received the CFDA’s Board of Directors’ Special Tribute.

Celebrities walked a beige, rather than red carpet to the ceremony held at the Lincoln Centre in Manhattan, before heading out to a host of after-parties.

Calvin Klein hosted the 'First Party at The High Line', the newly renovated (with much help from Calvin Klein) roof-top park that has become New York's hottest spot since opening last month.
