Lauren Moffat

Lauren Moffatt's eponymous label has become internationally recognized for its quirky-cool girl vibe. She started out as a graphic designer in her hometown of Philly before relocating to New York. It was aboard her 31-foot house boat docked on Hudson River that Moffatt started sewing her first ready-to-wear collection in 2000.

Diane von Furstenberg is one popular lady when it comes to the CFDA: The organization announced today that the designer will continue her reign as their president until at least 2014, WWD is reporting, making this her fourth term as president since her election in 2006 (the elections are held every two years) and the second time the board has extended her tenure. In other words, DVF is doing a kickass job and they want her to keep chugging along. "Diane has done an excellent job as CFDA president," Steven Kolb, CFDA chief creative officer, told the trade. "The time and resources she gives and the vision she has created is a huge benefit for our organization and industry."
