CFDA ARRIVALS … and the winners are…

I loved the red carpet parade of fashion insiders and  I am sure CFDA President Diane von Furstenberg is pretty happy with the evening. She said  “This is fashion’s night to celebrate each other. It’s a big party.I also loved, Reed Krakoff speech. He thanked his mother “for not letting [him] pursue [his] dream of being a football coach” !!! Haha
