"The Council of Fashion Designers of America handed out their &amp;quot;fashion Oscars&amp;quot; last night, and I was on the red carpet catching all of the pre-show action. Find out if Alexander Wang was nervous, how Marc Jacobs envisions his future at Louis Vuitton, and which style star showed up on the arm of first lady fave Jason Wu, after the jump. Nominee Jason Wu (who designed Michelle Obama&amp;#x27;s inaugural gown and has been on a serious hot streak ever since) came with one of the best dressed Pretty Young Things around, Diane Kruger. Some of my other favorite &amp;quot;couples&amp;quot; of the night? Michael Kors and Heidi Klum (looking incredibly pregnant in a silver dress by her Project Runway co-star--which she hacked a few inches off of); Zac Posen and supermodel Doutzen Kroes; Narciso Rodriguez and Claire Danes; and the boys from Proenza Schouler, who took home the accessories award, with Kerry Washington. Alexander Wang, who took home the Swarovski Award for Womenswear (past recipients include Rodarte, Phillip Lim, Derek Lam, and Zac Posen), told me he wasn&amp;#x27;t the least bit nervous before the awards began. &amp;quot;I kind of woke up today and forgot it was the CFDAs tonight,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Honestly, it&amp;#x27;s just exciting to be here. It&amp;#x27;s too nerve-wracking to think about, so I&amp;#x27;m trying to just enjoy the night.&amp;quot; I guess his play-it-cool strategy paid off. He also said he&amp;#x27;s headed to Japan in a couple of weeks for a little holiday. &amp;quot;Can we expect some Eastern influences in your spring 2010 collection?&amp;quot; I asked. Wang laughed. &amp;quot;We&amp;#x27;ll see, we&amp;#x27;ll see!&amp;quot; is all he would say. Marc Jacobs was another important player in the evening&amp;#x27;s festivities, taking home the International Award for his work as creative director at Louis Vuitton. &amp;quot;Is it weird to be picking up an &amp;#x27;international award&amp;#x27; in your hometown?&amp;quot; I asked him. &amp;quot;No, not really. But New York will always feel like my home. Paris is my make-believe home. I stay there and I pretend that I live there but I&amp;#x27;m not really connected to Paris, it&amp;#x27;s all a fantasy to me.&amp;quot; As for how long we can expect his career at Vuitton, which has already spanned ten years, to last: &amp;quot;As long as they&amp;#x27;ll have me I&amp;#x27;ll stay,&amp;quot; Marc said. &amp;quot;I love the company, and the people I work with there are terrific. We&amp;#x27;ve done some great things over the past decade, but we&amp;#x27;ve still got a lot more to do.&amp;quot; And what can we expect from his spring 2010 collection at Vuitton? &amp;quot;That&amp;#x27;s a good question,&amp;quot; Marc said. &amp;quot;I wish I had the answer, but i haven&amp;#x27;t a clue. I&amp;#x27;ll start working on it tomorrow!&amp;quot; While Marc sketches, you can check out who won the rest of the evening&amp;#x27;s major awards: Menswear Designer of the Year: A two-way tie between Scott Sternberg from Band of Outsiders and Italo Zuchelli for Calvin Klein Womenswear Designer of the Year: Laura and Kate Mulleavy for Rodarte Accessory Designer of the Year: Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez for Proenza Schouler Swarovski Award for Womenswear: Alexander Wang Swarovski Award for Menswear: Tim Hamilton Swarovski Award for Accessories: Justin Giunta for Subversive International Award: Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton Lifetime Achievement Award: Anna Sui And the first-ever Popular Vote Award (did you guys cast yours?): Ralph Lauren All in all, one of the most star-studded evenings I&amp;#x27;ve spent in a while. Do you dolls think the right designers took home the prizes? Which celeb&amp;#x27;s dress do you like best? And did you vote for Ralph Lauren, too? Discuss!
