John Waters

The fashion Oscars CFDA awards have wrapped: The Olsens took home the big prize for womenswear for the Row (they very adorably thanked each other); Seth Meyers wore Marc Jacobs' Met ball outfit (and dared to make a Galliano joke); Garance Dore had folks tearing up when she accepted her award by telling the audience to "take your fun very seriously...[and] maybe one day you will start a revolution"; and John Waters proved the perfect person to pick up awards for both Comme des Garçons‘ Rei Kawakubo ("I wear Comme des Garcons to be fashionable in private...We know how great her clothes look but others just think we're poor") and Johnny Depp ("He has fashion balls...he was a pirate Pepe Le Pew way before I met him").

We figured it was a long shot but we were really hoping that Johnny Depp would actually show up at Monday's CFDA Awards in some fabulous fedora-plus-tiny scarf-plus pinstriped suit-plus arm party get up to accept his style icon award. Alas, it is not to be. Johnny Depp will pick up his award in absentia as he is currently on location in the Navajo Nation filming The Lone Ranger, WWD is reporting. Comme des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo, who is set to receive the International Award, will also be a no show; she's busy prepping her June 29 men's show in Paris.
