<p>This year's roster of winners is setting the bar for contemporary American fashion.</p>

<p>Another successful CFDA Fashion Awards is in the books. After voting closed on Wednesday, Oct. 21, many were eager to see which of their favorite labels and designers would take home a sleek silver trophy for their work over the past year. With the completion of the ceremony, that eagerness has settled, and we have a complete roster of champions.</p>
<p>On Nov. 2, the Council of Fashion Designers of America took over New York City's American Museum of Natural History to honor the creatives shaping American fashion today. Whether it was iconic talents like Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors or newcomers like Public School New York's Dao-Yi Chow &amp; Maxwell Osborne, the awards ceremony was one for the generations.</p>
<p>From Keke Palmer's vivacious hosting energy to some of the industry's fashion darlings stealing the show on the red carpet, the stylish spectacle brought together fashion designers, muses, and fans alike for a special event.
