Fashion’s heavy hitters descended upon Casa Cipriani for the 2022 CFDA Awards last night and, per usual, hijinks ensued. Heidi Gardner confessed to doing jello shots en route to the party, Julia Fox lit a blunt off her Edie Parker clutch, and Cher’s arrival sent everyone into a collective tizzy. Natasha Lyonne had no qualms about roasting the community of designers, stylists, editors, and appreciators of style as host, and Khaite’s Catherine Holstein—with Kendall Jenner on her arm—nabbed one of the night’s biggest wins: American Womenswear Designer of the Year. Patti Wilson relished her moment receiving the Media Award in Honor of Eugenia Sheppard, before presumably starting her next project. See the full list of winners, below.
