The CFDA Awards are a big fixture on the fashion calendar but unfortunately don't receive the amount of press that they deserve; but it looks like that is going to change. Lady Gaga has been announced as the winner of the Fashion Icon award, which was given to Iman last year and if the press that Mugler received this month is anything to go by, the ceremony won't struggle for press attention this year.

Other confirmed award winners are Hilary Alexander who will be given the Eugenia Sheppard Media Award, Marc Jacobs is being given the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award and Phoebe Philo, the International Award.
