Father's Day Fun

Kiernan Shipka on Sally Draper’s Shorter Hemlines

Kiernan Shipka, who plays Sally Draper on Mad Men, was the youngest award recipient at Wednesday night’s Women in Film Crystal & Lucy Awards. (Hailee Steinfeld, winner of MaxMara’s Face of the Future award, has a whole three years on the 13-year-old Shipka.) But aside from her diminutive stature and baby face, you wouldn’t know she was just entering her teenage years: Shipka is more poised and well-spoken than most women twice her age.

When I caught up with her earlier this week, she kindly suggested we go somewhere quieter so we could actually hear each other, then enthusiastically opened up about her evolving style, wearing high heels, why she’s given up sewing her own dresses, and her Mad Men character’s rising hemlines.

A Handy Primer

Everything You Need to Know About Tonight’s CFDA Awards

The 2013 CFDA awards, fashion’s Oscars if you will, will be handed out in mere hours. The industry has been gathering to recognize and honor its leading talents since 1981.

A lot has changed since the early years of the awards. What was once a small intimate industry event is now a widely covered celebrity event. “I think it reflects a broader shift over the last few years where fashion has become more and more popular,” Style.com’s editor in chief Dirk Standen told us. “The internet has had a lot to do with that. It’s entertainment on a par with movies and music.”

So to prep you for tonight’s awards we’ve assembled this handy primer. In it you’ll find the complete list of nominees, our predictions on who will take home the big prizes, and all the celebrity presenters and attendees slated to show up.
