Accessories designers and retailers got their due as the Accessories Council presented the 13th Annual ACE Awards. Some of the top names of the fashion industry came out to the show with top designer Diana Von Furstenberg winning the Accessory Visionary Award. Other winners included Christoper Bailey who won the Brand of the Year Award for Burberry and Tomas Maier for Designer of the Year. Retailer awards went to Zappos.com and Gilt Group. V Magazine scored the Magazine of the Year Award. Even Barbie (the doll) was honored with the Fashion Icon Award.
Notable attendees for the evening included Marc Jacobs, Betsy Johnson, Nina Garcia, Agyness Deyn, Christian Siriano (sporting a bag half his size), Alexander Wang, Erin Wasson, Molly Sims, Hillary Rhoda and Lady Gaga. The talk of the evening went to Lady Gaga and her flair for fashion that won her the Accessories Council's Stylemaker Award. At the end of Lady Gaga's speech, she reminds us all that the most important accessory to have is the condom. What are the odds the "condom" will be an award winner for next year?
