Apparently the CFDA awards are "fashion’s Oscars." Aren’t the Oscars fashion’s Oscars? Sort of? Eh, maybe not.
For reasons we will get into in a second, we will say our favorite picture from the event was this one, of Marc Jacobs and Victoria Beckham. We liked that dress about three thousands time more once we realized that it’s made from lots of hearts.
Er, anyway: Our best-dressed—well, our best dress, anyway, was this Rodarte:
We were going to put this photo in the top spot, but the model is just too scrawny and we have thereby deducted points. And that is like doubly weird because the Mulleavy sisters aren’t, and we expect better from them.
The actual winners were:
- Francisco Costa \ Calvin Klein for womenswear
- that crazy bat Tom Ford for menswear
- Tory Burch for accessories
- And the Mulleavys \ Rodarte for emerging talent
This comment just came in:
victoria beckham is just as scrawny looking as the model, no?
We were thinking about that a lot before we posted this whole thing. We actually think the answer is o, or at least not quite. But we’re well aware it’s cutting a fine slice. Maybe it’s the fake tan—we’re probably not supposed to be judgmental either way, but Posh just looks in the realm of reasonable to us, and that Rodarte model looks like she’s about to fail over. But we see the opposing position here.

I think VB is probably skinnier than the model, but she has smaller bones so she doesn’t look as bony… And the tan makes her look more ‘healthy’
