Campbell follows in the footsteps of other high-profile recipients of the award – many of whom are friends of hers – including Rihanna, Beyoncé and Kate Moss, who have all been declared CFDA Fashion Icons in the past.
Other industry names to be honoured during this year’s ceremony will include Diane von Furstenberg (recognised for her work for Positive Change); Narciso Rodriguez (Lifetime Achievement); and Carolina Herrera (the Founder’s Award). Donatella Versace will receive the International Award, rounding off a year which saw her honouring the legacy of her brother, Gianni Versace, to mark the 20th anniversary of his death.
Issa Rae will be the CFDA Awards’ first-ever female host of the ceremony which will take place on 4 June at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. As ever, we’re expecting the fashion world’s biggest names and brightest talents to attend in celebration of this year’s award winners and nominees.
