Brandon Maxwell Scores CFDA’s Womenswear Designer of the Year Award
Brandon Maxwell was the winner of the Womenswear Designer of the Year at the CFDA Fashion Awards Monday night at the Brooklyn Museum. Maxwell, whose four-year-old, luxury ready-to-wear label is known for its sharp tailoring and sculptural details, bested such designers as Marc Jacobs, Kate Mulleavy and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, Rosie Assoulin, and Sander Lak of Sies Marjan. Maxwell’s profile got a big boost last month when Lady Gaga arrived on the Met Gala’s red carpet, changing her looks four times, each time revealing another Maxwell design. The designer, who started out as Lady Gaga’s stylist, is a “Project Runway” judge and represented by IMG worldwide. He previously picked up the CFDA Swarovski Award for Womenswear in 2016. Taking home the Menswear Designer of the Year award was Rick Owens, who launched his fashion line in 1994. Others competing in the men’s wear category were Mike Amiri of Amiri, Virgil Abloh of Off-White, Kerby Jean-Raymond of Pyer Moss, and Thom Browne of Thom Browne New York. Owens, a prolific designer and artist whose collections are built around his signature leather jackets, has been honored by the CFDA twice, first with the Perry Ellis Award for Emerging Talent in 2002, and again in 2017Follow WWD on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
