The 2009 CFDA award nominees has just been announced, this year’s awards is scheduled for June 15th so we’ll have to wait till then to find out who wins what. But Marc Jacobs has already won the International Award for his work at Louis Vuitton and nominated for two more categories, and Anna Sui will be given the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award. After seven years at the New York Public Library, the 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards will this year move to Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. First Lady Michelle Obama will also be honored with her style choices and penchant for young, up-and-coming talent, with this year’s Board of Director’s Special Tribute (perhaps she’ll make an appearance, let’s hope!). via WWD
