The CFDA Fashion Awards nominees and honorees were announced this morning, and, big surprise, there were no shockers. The list of nominees read like a who's who of It-designers. To predict who we think will take home the prize, we came up with a a super-scientific rubric that factors in CFDA winner patterns, each nominee's current quantifiable successes, and how way-super-cute we think their stuff is (or something like that). Below, all the nominees (with our pick bolded) as well as the list of determined honorees (WWD):
