Not as glamorous and celeb friendly as the MET Gala, or as notorious as the CFDA Awards, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards are probably the least familiar of the American fashion industry’s top award ceremonies.
About acknowledging and awarding emerging designers with long term potential, the night is more about the business end of fashion rather than the creative. But that doesn’t mean the star or style power was any less prominent.
A number of celebs were on hand to witness designer Joseph Altuzarra receive the night’s top award — $300,000.
Baller Carmelo Anthony and wife Lala, who was dressed in Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2011, were guests of designer Rachel Roy.
The designer wore an on trend fur vest, paired with a nude turtle-neck, and black floor length skirt.
Also accompanying a top fashion designer was actress Zoe Kravitz who attended with designer Alexander Wang, a past Fashion Fund award winner, and long time friend of Zoe.
Naturally, she wore a look from his Spring 2012 collection, a burgundy leather (it’s not just for the fellas) mini dress, paired with black pointy toe heels.
Other fashionably focused peeps who walked the event’s red carpet include models Joan Smalls in Altuzarra and Liya Kebede in Cushnie et Ochs, and designer Tracy Reese.
Carmelo & Lala – Melo needs to lose the glasses, those nerd glasses were a short time thing. Haate Lala’s heels and woah @ her feet/toes.
Rachel Roy – her face looks weird here .. she looks old.
lala looks amazing!!!
I hate Zoe’s haircut. Wish she would have just kept it long and black.
Lala looks amazing, per usual
Everyone looks okay,Carmelo o’s so unattractive to me
Joan Smalls looks so perfectly skinny. Her body is amazing..and her face is absolutely lovely.
Lala looks nice as usual, but she threw the dress off with the purple shoes, silver would have been more appropiate. Zoe always looks so dirty to me, and she also looks like she’s on the oouuwee! Rachel Roy, Ok! Tell me why do most of these stylist/ designers dress so ugly, June, Rachel Tracy Reese ETC. JMO
Zoe and A Wang <3 both so perfect. Her dress is great. Joan looks nicer than usual.
Damn LaLa got a treasure chest mmm sexy sexy sexy
Lala has some messed up toes- lmaooooooooo
LALA CAUGHT THAT KIM K…ALL THINGS FAKE
zoe kravitz always looks dirty to me. i dont know why…like scruffy…dont ask.
