The Council of Fashion Designers of America has announced the nominees and honorees for the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards, taking place at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City on October 28.

The CFDA board of directors said it is renaming its namesake award to the Isabel Toledo Board of Directors’ Tribute to honor the late Cuban-American talent. Toledo will posthumously receive the newly renamed award, which Ruben Toledo, the designer’s husband, will accept.
The award was originally established to recognize independent designers and to acknowledge individuals whose accomplishments reflect the board’s values. However, the award will now exclusively focus on recognizing designers.
In addition to the nominees announcement, the CFDA revealed the winners of other categories in 2024. Daniel Roseberry has been awarded the International Designer of the Year award for his work at for Schiaparelli, while the Positive Change Award goes to Michael Kors for his work fighting hunger through Watch Hunger Stop, his campaign in support of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), and his support of God’s Love We Deliver.
Moreover, Stephen Burrows will receive the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, alongside Annie Leibovitz, who will receive the Media Award in honor of Eugenia Sheppard.
Lastly, the recipient of the Founder’s Award in honor of Eleanor Lambert is Hamish Bowles.

“As our biggest fundraiser of the year, the CFDA Fashion Awards presented by Amazon Fashion significantly contribute to the CFDA Scholarship Fund to support tomorrow’s generation of designers and future nominees and honorees of this special night and we are grateful to Amazon Fashion for their leadership.”
