Thom Browne has been named the next chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, effective Jan. 1 and will be charged with steering the organization amid a rapidly changing landscape.
“I am very excited about taking the chairmanship of the CFDA,” said Browne. “I feel a huge responsibility in working with Steven and the CFDA team to carry on the positive and important work of Tom, Diane [von Furstenberg] and Stan [Herman]. I also feel that it is important to give back to an industry that supported me so well over the last 20 years.
This year Browne has again been nominated for the CFDA’s Menswear Designer of the Year, competing against Emily Bode Aujla for Bode , Jerry Lorenzo for Fear of God, Mike Amiri for Amiri and Willy Chavarria. The CFDA Awards will take place Nov. 7 at Cipriani South Street at Casa Cipriani in Manhattan.
Earlier this month Browne showed his women’s spring collection in the foyer of the Opéra Garnier, and staged an Americana-inflected retelling of Cinderella, complete with a giant shoe and actresses Gwendoline Christie and Golden Globe-winning “Pose” star MJ Rodriguez as lead characters. It was “an Americana prom mixed with Cinderella, mixed with the Paris Opera,” Browne said at the time.
“My most important message is that everyone should have all the opportunities to thrive as designers, but the core of this success has to start from pure creativity. It is our responsibility as designers to keep the story being told in an uncompromisingly creative way that reaches all in the most positive way,” said Browne.
