Congratulations to the new class of the Council of Fashion Designers of America! Membership into this organization is a big step forward for the career of any American designer, and this year, 32 designers made the cut. “Acceptance in to the CFDA family is validation of a designer’s talent and it is an opportunity to access the many offerings and programs provided by the organization,” Steven Kolb, CEO of the CFDA, said in a statement. “Our membership is the highest it has ever been having grown over the last 7 years from 250 to 454 with the addition of the class of 2013.” Included among this year's new members are some familiar faces, including Christian Siriano, Jennifer Meyer (the jewelry designer wife to Tobey Maguire), and Erin Beatty and Max Osterweis of CFDA award-winning Suno.
