The votes are in! Last night, top designers and their muses attended the CFDA Awards, some in hope to receive an award--others for support. And the winners are...

Purple Glamour's favorite designer, Alexander Wang walked away with the well-deserved Swarovski Award for Womenswear.

"I went to work, had a couple of meetings, ate Thai food," he told WWD about his day before the awards ceremony. "I just want to hang out with my friends."

Congrats Mr. Wang!

Laura and Kate Mulleavy snagged the prestigious Womenswear Designer of the Year Award for Rodarte.

Well done! Since their Fashion Week debut in 2005, their collections have been receiving rave reviews and much success.

And I must say, I fell in love with those web-like knitted leggings from their Fall '08 collection.

And the Menswear Designer of the Year award went to...both Scott Sternberg of Band of Outsiders and Italo Zuccheli for his work with Calvin Klein (it was a tie.)

I personally would have given it to Scott Sternberg, because he's just that good, and I can't get enough of his effortless, preppy, American Sportswear designs.

Anyway, congrats to them both!

The Swarovski Award for Menswear went to Tim Hamilton...

And the International Award went to Marc Jacobs for his efforts at Louis Vuitton--rightfully so.

I don't think anyone else could have done a better job. The Fall '09 collection will forever be in my mind and heart.

Check out the rest of the awards and their recipients here.
