Francisco Costa, Thom Browne and Tom Binns are the top fashion designers of the year, taking home the big prizes at the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards. Costa was named womenswear designer of the year three years after taking over creative duties at Calvin Klein from the company’s namesake designer. Browne was selected over Cloak’s Alexandre Plokhov and Ralph Lauren for menswear designer. Browne told the crowd, which included , , and Sean “Diddy” Combs in addition to top fashion designers Vera Wang, Diane von Furstenberg and Donna Karan, that Lauren was an inspiration to him – and to so many others in the room. Jr. gave Browne his trophy, putting on Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour’s signature sunglasses and holding her tiny handbag to prove his fashion credentials. “Wow, this started as a way for us to surf and travel as much as possible while making a living,” the Trovata team said as they accepted their award from and John Legend, who had just sang an a cappella version of Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight”.
