Tonight, the members of the CFDA Awards statuette club were a mix of old stalwarts and newbies — including a cartwheeling downtown legend, the creators of the anti-“It” bag that turned into an “It” bag, and even the fashion world’s envy-inducing app of choice. (A few of them even made it out without becoming the subject of a James Corden burn. ) See the full list of honorees below.
