While Marc Jacobs has already won the CFDA international Award for his work at Louis Vuitton, the rest of the the winners will be announced June 15th with a special appearance by the First Lady Michelle Obama who is being honored by the CFDA for her mark on the fashion industry. Last night, fashion top dogs including Anna Wintour, Peter Som, and Linda Fargo came out to support the nominees as they were announced by DVF, along with jeweler Philip Crangi, and designers Caroliona Herrera, and John Bartlett.
