The Council of Fashion Designers of America has slated the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards for Nov. 3 for a special evening celebrating American design excellence with the global industry fashion exponents and the most glamorous celebrity stars.

For the third time, the gala returns underneath the big blue whale at the American Museum of Natural History’s Hall of Ocean Life, home to one of the Museum’s most celebrated displays.

Amazon Fashion returns as the presenting partner for the fourth consecutive year.

“The 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards presented by Amazon Fashion will celebrate the highest standards of creative excellence within the American fashion industry. We look forward to acknowledging visionary designers and innovators who influence the artistic fabric of fashion and bring American style and culture to the global stage,” said CFDA ceo Steven Kolb.

“We look forward to the CFDA Fashion Awards every year and are honored to once again collaborate with the CFDA to spotlight the innovative talent driving change in the industry,” said Jenny Freshwater, vice president of Amazon Fashion and Fitness. “Amazon has a vast fashion-engaged audience, and we are excited to celebrate the inspiring individuals who are helping shape American fashion and culture today.”

Additional supporters of the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards presented by Amazon Fashion include Google Shopping for the American Emerging Designer of the Year award.

Last year, Diotima’s Rachel Scott took home the American Womenswear Designer of the Year award; Willy Chavarria won the American Menswear Designer of the Year for the second consecutive year; Raul Lopez of Luar was awarded his second American Accessory designer of the Year award, and Henry Zankov of Zankov won the Google Shopping American Emerging Designer of the Year.
