The Council of Fashion Designers of America awards are prestigious awards in the fashion industry. They hold an importance equivalent to that of the Oscars. The Monday night show was hosted by actress Natasha Lyonne and designers and CFDA members Joseph Altuzarra, Gabriela Hearst, Aurora James, Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough. They celebrated not only the history of American fashion, but also 60 years of the CFDA.

Notably, Kim Kardashian is making quite a name for herself in the fashion industry this year. She curated a new collection for Dolce & Gabbana for Milan Fashion Week. The SKIMS founder took inspiration from 20 years of archival looks. While she did not walk the ramp herself, Kim appeared at the end of the show with designers Dolce & Gabbana to take a bow. Her Ciao Kim collection featured the models wearing black, white and silver with lace, crystals and leopard print embellishments. In attendance for the night were Kim’s three older children, sister Khloe Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner.
