A handful of awards – including the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award (Tom Ford), Media Award (Paul Cavaco), Founders Award (Bethann Hardison), Board of Director’s Tribute Award (Ruth Finle) and International Award (Raf Simons) – are also doled out to honorees selected by the board itself instead of vote count.
