From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.On Monday night, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) celebrated the winners and honorees of the 2019 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Brooklyn Museum in New York.
The annual event, which has been running since 1981, is one of the most anticipated in the fashion calendar, recognising the contributions of designers, journalists, stylists and models to the fashion industry.
This year’s ceremony was hosted by comedians Hasan Minhaj and Jessica Williams, while actor Yara Shahidi and designer Tom Ford also presented awards on the night.
Among those honoured at the 18th CFDA Awards was Brandon Maxwell who won the Designer of the Year award, while singer Jennifer Lopez received the Fashion Icon Award.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were awarded Accessory Designer of the Year for their luxury label, The Row, while Rick Owens took home the accolade for Menswear Designer of the Year.
In one of the highlights of the evening, Michael Kors surprised outgoing CFDA chairwoman Diane von Furstenberg with a tribute before she handed over the organisation’s chairmanship to Tom Ford.
“I have been privileged to lead the CFDA for the last 13 years,” said Von Furstenberg.
“In fashion, we are about glamorous entrances, but beautiful exits are equally important. I could not have wished for a better exit, a more glamorous upgrade, and a better successor than Tom Ford.”
