Black Designers Took Home Many CFDA Awards, and I Was Rooting For Them All Along

Considering the industry's slow progress on championing Black representation, last night's ceremony offered a glimpse into a more inclusive future.

Black designers had a big night at this year's CFDA Fashion Awards. They took home a range of prestigious awards, a testament to the breakthrough fashion moments they've orchestrated this year. From Telfar Clemens's numerous successful collaborations (most recently with the sage bag that made its Insecure debut) to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's much talked about "Tax the Rich" dress designed by Aurora James, Black creatives were at the center of many of 2021's biggest moments.

Last June, as demonstrations against police brutality swept over the world, the CFDA announced a series of initiatives designed to "place Black talent in all sectors of the fashion business and help achieve a racially balanced industry." Considering the industry's slow progress on championing Black representation, last night's ceremony offered a glimpse into a more inclusive future. Ahead, discover the winners (including emerging labels and established forces), and join us in celebrating this momentous occasion.

I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
