The ceremony returns to the Hall of Ocean Life, marking its third time at the American Museum of Natural History.

The CFDA Fashion Awards are set to return to the American Museum of Natural History on November 3, once again taking place beneath the iconic blue whale in the Hall of Ocean Life. It’s the third time the ceremony will be hosted at the landmark venue, continuing its tradition of pairing New York grandeur with fashion’s sharpest names.
Amazon Fashion is back as presenting partner for the fourth year in a row. “The 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards presented by Amazon Fashion will celebrate the highest standards of creative excellence within the American fashion industry,” said Steven Kolb, CEO of the CFDA. “We look forward to acknowledging visionary designers and innovators who influence the artistic fabric of fashion and bring American style and culture to the global stage.”
The evening will spotlight standout work in American fashion, from established names to the next generation of talent. Google Shopping is supporting the American Emerging Designer of the Year award, signaling a continued interest from tech in shaping the direction of the industry.
“We look forward to the CFDA Fashion Awards every year and are honored to once again collaborate with the CFDA to spotlight the innovative talent driving change in the industry,” said Jenny Freshwater, vice president of Amazon Fashion and Fitness. “Amazon has a vast fashion-engaged audience, and we are excited to celebrate the inspiring individuals who are helping shape American fashion and culture today.”
As anticipation builds, all eyes will be on the guest list, the speeches, and, of course, the red carpet. Let’s see where the designer carousel spins next.
