Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been nominated for the biggest prize in design: a CFDA for Womenswear Designer of the Year for their label The Row. The petite twins are up against Marc Jacobs and duo Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler.
The 2012 CFDA nominations and details of the ceremony were announced last night, Wednesday, March 14, by CFDA president Diane von Furstenburg. The awards will be held on June 4 and hosted by Saturday Night Live comedian Seth Meyers.
As an added bonus, the CFDA will be awarding none other than Johnny Depp for The Fashion Icon Award. He is the first male recipient to receive the award, for his personal and eclectic sense of style.–Erin Fitzsimmons
