American Idols
pThe Council of Fashion Designers of America announced its nominees for the 2009 Fashion Awards at a party at the Rooftop Gardens of Rockefeller Center on Monday night. Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy, a href=”javascript:openSlideshow(’/peopleparties/parties/slideshow/newyork-031609_CFDA_Nominations/?iphoto=1′)”strongNarciso Rodriguez/strong/a, and Marc Jacobs will vie for the Womenswear Designer of the Year title. Jacobs, for good measure, was also nominated in the Accessory Designer category and will receive the International Award. The latter usually goes to a non-American, but you could argue the chain-smoking, Paris-based Louis Vuitton designer is practically an honorary Frenchman these days.br /br / Equally front of mind was Michelle Obama. The CFDA plans to honor the First Lady with its Board of Directors’ Special Tribute award. “She was on everybody’s ballot,” said CFDA president a href=”javascript:openSlideshow(’/peopleparties/parties/slideshow/newyork-031609_CFDA_Nominations/?iphoto=27′)”strongDiane von Furstenberg/strong/a. But will we all get to rub shoulders with Mrs. Obama at the June 15 ceremony at Lincoln Center’s newly renovated Alice Tully Hall? a href=”javascript:openSlideshow(’/peopleparties/parties/slideshow/newyork-031609_CFDA_Nominations/?iphoto=2′)”strongJason Wu/strong/a, for one, is keeping his fingers crossed. “People all over America are talking about fashion because of her,” said the Swarovski Award for Womenswear nominee, who’s up against Thakoon Panichgul and Alexander Wang. Explaining that his business doubled for Fall after the First Lady wore his one-shoulder gown on Inauguration Night, Wu added, “We all have to thank her.”br /br / a href=”http://www.style.com/stylefile/2009/03/marc-jacobs-hat-trick/” target=”_blank”strongClick to read about more of the evening’s nominees./strong/a/pbr/#8212;Nicole Phelpsdiv class=”feedflare” a href=”http://feeds.style.com/~ff/fashion_features?a=lXQ3J3owse4:kCCltsAG8qw:yIl2AUoC8zA”img src=”http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/fashion_features?d=yIl2AUoC8zA” border=”0″/img/a a href=”http://feeds.style.com/~ff/fashion_features?a=lXQ3J3owse4:kCCltsAG8qw:V_sGLiPBpWU”img src=”http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/fashion_features?i=lXQ3J3owse4:kCCltsAG8qw:V_sGLiPBpWU” border=”0″/img/a a href=”http://feeds.style.com/~ff/fashion_features?a=lXQ3J3owse4:kCCltsAG8qw:qj6IDK7rITs”img src=”http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/fashion_features?d=qj6IDK7rITs” border=”0″/img/a a href=”http://feeds.style.com/~ff/fashion_features?a=lXQ3J3owse4:kCCltsAG8qw:F7zBnMyn0Lo”img src=”http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/fashion_features?i=lXQ3J3owse4:kCCltsAG8qw:F7zBnMyn0Lo” border=”0″/img/a /divimg src=”http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/fashion_features/~4/lXQ3J3owse4″ height=”1″ width=”1″/
