Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen at the 2012 CFDA Awards
Top models, leading designers and fashion icons gathered last night in New York at the 2012 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards celebrating the organization's 50th anniversary and to see who would walk away with the top nods in the industry. From host Seth Myers in a sheer lace gown (inspired by Marc Jacobs' appearance at the Met Ball) to no-surprise win by the Olsen twins for Womenswear Designer(s) of the Year, it was certainly a night of many highs in the fashion capital of the world.
