Duds designers draw praise at awards
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Any line that remained between the worlds of fashion and entertainment was erased at the American Fashion Awards, often called the Oscars of the fashion world.
Designers Jean-Paul Gaultier, Vera Wang, Betsey Johnson and Kenneth Cole strode the red carpet leading into Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall like runway pros, then watched supermodels and starlets do the same, wearing their designs.'
First the clothes, then the awards
Actress/model Elizabeth Hurley, in a pink strapless column gown, and supermodel Claudia Schiffer, in a black dress with white polka dots and tiers of ruffles, wore Valentino, who won an award for lifetime achievement.
Michael Michele of NBC's "ER" wore a long black tank dress with a pleated bottom by Carolina Herrera. Esther Canadas, one of Donna Karan's favorite supermodels, chose (not surprisingly) an
olive Donna Karan halter-top gown with sequins. Supermodel Naomi Campbell, "Will & Grace" actor Sean Hayes and designer Randolph Duke also walked the red carpet.
Sean "Puffy" Combs, nominated as a new menswear designer for his Sean John clothing line (he didn't win), wore a pink Versace tuxedo. His sneakers had color-coordinated pink stripes. Combs was a standout. Most of the men played it safe in traditional formal wear.
The women were more daring. Halter, sheer and beaded tops were popular. Purple was hot; big designer jewels were not. The pashmina wrap was nowhere in sight, signaling the end of its status as the accessory of the moment.
Now the awards
For the first time in the history of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the winners weren't announced in advance. Both established designers and fresh faces were honored.
Oscar de la Renta won the womenswear award. Helmut Lang, who was nominated in three categories, won the menswear award. Richard
Lambertson and John Truex of Lambertson Trux won the award for accessories. Gaultier received an international award.
Winners of the Perry Ellis Award for new designers were Miguel Adrover for womenswear, John Varvatos for menswear and Dean Harris for accessories.
The awards presentation was patterned after the big-budget Oscar and Emmy shows, with retrospectives and heavy statues.
With images of Barbra Streisand in Scaasi, Cher in Bob Mackie and Gwyneth Paltrow in Ralph Lauren flashing onstage, actress Ellen Barkin paid a special tribute to the Oscars for providing a global stage for fashion designers.
She also thanked the designers "who make it easy for us to walk down the red carpet."
Host Sandra Bernhard wore many outfits during the evening, including a black cowl-neck top, long leather coat and a men's hat. The outfit was a takeoff on Samuel L. Jackson's role as New York Police Detective John Shaft in the new "Shaft" film directed by John Singleton. The film, an update of
the 1970s detective franchise, took in an estimated $21.1 million in its weekend debut.
Bernhard promised — and delivered — a fast and interesting show. After all, the winners were tabulated by Ernst & Young, "the most fashionable accountants," she told the audience. This was in sharp contrast to last year's show, which dragged on for hours.
In presenting the evening's final honor to Valentino, Ashley Judd noted how important designers and their beautiful gowns are to Hollywood actresses.
"I feel utterly gorgeous in this dress," said Judd, wearing Valentino's white scoop-neck tiered gown with fringe at the bottom.
Valentino's acceptance speech was interrupted by several anti-fur protesters. But the crowd drowned out their shouts with applause until security guards removed them from the auditorium. Valentino then made a brief speech — an obvious departure from the Oscars — and graciously said he bowed to the audience and the American public for their support.
