Fashion News Roundup: Christopher Bailey Tweets, A Theft At Michael Kors, and The Hunt For The World’s Sexiest Shoe

Theft At Lincoln Center: Apparently there was a theft during the Michael Kors show on Wednesday. A photographer and his assistant, who were sitting in the photographer’s pit, were robbed of their credit cards, cash, and metro cards.

CFDA Awards: Who Won, Who Didn’t and Who Made My Day

Tonight at the CFDA Awards, actor Anthony Mackie said that the event really is like the Oscars of fashion. As one of the few people in the crowd who has attended both ceremonies, he should know.

And it did seem like an abbreviated, less-hokey Academy Awards.

There were skits–Diddy starred in a short that introduced the menswear nominees–celebrity presenters–Isabella Rossellini, Jessica Biel–and even some heartfelt speeches.

Alex Wang, Marc Jacobs, Up for Big CFDAs

Nadja Swarovski and Diane von Furstenburg announced the 2010 CFDA nominees at Diane’s studio last night.
