The annual award ceremony that gave us Rihanna in a nearly-naked Adam Selman dress is going digital this year.

As The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/cfda-highlights-2019" target="_blank">Council of Fashion Designers of America</a> just announced the nominees for the CFDA awards, the glamorous event celebrating the cr&egrave;me de la cr&egrave;me of America&rsquo;s most exceptional fashion creatives, the Council are determined to move ahead in-lieu of an in-person event due to the coronavirus pandemic in committing to &ldquo;recognize the nominees representing the best of fashion creativity,&rdquo; says chairman Tom Ford.&nbsp;

With the winners being set to be announced virtually on the morning of September 14th on <a href="https://cfda.com/" target="_blank">CFDA.com,</a> this decision to digitalize the highly-anticipated annual affair, the CFDA will be &ldquo;prioritizing new and existing programming to support our designer community during the global pandemic &ndash; by redirecting efforts towards next generation scholarships and making important changes to bring racial equity to the fashion industry&rdquo; according to President and CEO, Steven Kolb.&nbsp;

From established pioneers in the American Fashion world such as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/tom-ford-cfda-board-changes-2019" target="_blank">Tom Ford</a>&nbsp;and Marc Jacobs, who have multiple wins under their belt, to upcoming familiar brands making waves like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/staud-models-strut-their-stuff-fall-2019" target="_blank">Staud</a>, look through the names in fashion that were nominated yesterday for American womenswear, menswear, accessories, emerging talent and global designers.
