Last night fashion's elite gathered at Lincoln Center for the annual Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) awards, which was hosted by Anderson Cooper this year. Unsurprisingly, Lady Gaga stole the show; the performer showed up with her parents, donning blue hair (candy-colored hair is so in right now), and a stunning black dress. She received the Fashion Icon Award, and reportedly when Vogue editrix Anna Wintour texted her congratulations, Gaga mistook her for another Anna in her phone, and texted back, "Yes, bitch, we did it!" To which Wintour replied, “How lovely."

Diane Von Furstenberg: Do As I Say, Not As I Do
Diane Von Furstenberg, designer, president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, wife of Barry Diller, lover of the Chinese, had a bit of an embarrassment at Fall Fashion Week. See, as CFDA president Von Furstenberg has been one of the more vocal designers trying to assure that runway models are at least 16 and are "properly fed". Which is great, and we're sure the snack table at her show was excellent, but, well, one of the models at her own show, Hailey Clauson, was only 15—a fact readily available to anyone who knows how to use the Google.

CFDA Awards Glam Up the NYPL
Last night the fashion world gathered behind the New York Public Library for the 26th annual CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards, which honors the top designers.

Diane von Furstenberg held back tears as she announced that "the world of fashion is mourning. Yves is an artist...a magician who changed the way women dressed forever."
