There’s a new winner in town. Fashion designer Joseph Altuzarra was honored womenswear designer of the year on Monday, June 2, at the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Fashion Awards ceremony. Altuzarra beat fellow designers Alexander Wang and Marc Jacobs.

Altuzarra is known for his sophisticated feminine designs laced with boyish charm. His most recent collection featured clean looks with subtle embellishments, including crisp short-sleeve button-ups tucked into a slit pencil skirts, tassle-adorned-neckline turtlenecks, and structured peacoats.

Since the launch of his brand in 2008, he’s dressed celebrities, such as Nicole Kidman, Kate Bosworth, and Lana Del Rey. In 2011, he won the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, which gave him the financial funds and business mentoring needed to expand his clothing company. Not long after, in 2012, he won the Swarovski Award for Womenswear.

As a three-time CFDA award nominee, the 2014 award is the first for the 30-year-old. Former recipients of the Womenswear Designer of the Year award are Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen of The Row, and Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein.

“I felt so happy to be nominated, but I’m very happy to have won,” said Altuzarra.

Other winners of the 2014 Fashion Awards include Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne of Public School for Menswear Designer of the Year and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen of The Row for Accessories Designer of the Year. Taking home the Swarovski Award for womenswear were Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters of Creatures of the Wind, for menswear was Tim Coppens, and for accessories was Irene Nuewirth.

Making headlines once again, Fashion Icon Award winner Rihanna sparkled in a shimmery see-through Adam Selman number with matching gloves and headscarf. Tom Ford shyly accepted the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award while Raf Simons for Dior picked up the International Award.

The Founder’s Award went to Bethann Hardison, the Media Award to Paul Cavaco, and Board of Directors’ Tribute to Ruth Finely.

In other news, Altuzarra is releasing a limited edition collection for Target on Sept. 14. The nearly 50-item collection will include everything from apparel to accessories. According to Target, apparel and lingerie will range in price from $18 to $90 and shoes and accessories from $30 to $80.
