CFDA president Bill Blass had set off controversy when he announced that all of the nominees will be named winners to avoid televising designers as they lose awards. In response, nominee Geoffrey Beene rejected the award and said, "The industry needs a major award for its merit, not its emotion."{{cite web |title=The Eighties Big Money, Big Spending and Big Names: The Eighties Is the Decade.. |url=https://wwd.com/feature/article-1194624-1712703/ |website=WWD |access-date=15 November 2024 |date=13 June 2000 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20241115090346/https://wwd.com/feature/article-1194624-1712703/ |archive-date=15 November 2024}}

=Fashion Targets Breast Cancer=
Fashion Targets Breast Cancer® (FTBC), a charitable initiative of the CFDA/CFDA Foundation, seeks to raise public awareness and funds for the breast cancer cause.
The Fashion Targets Breast Cancer name and symbol were created by Ralph Lauren and subsequently entrusted to the CFDA Foundation. FTBC was first presented in the U.S. in the spring of 1994 during New York Fashion Week, and was formally launched in September 1994 at a special White House reception hosted by then-First Lady Hillary Clinton. During this initial campaign, 400,000 FTBC shirts were sold, raising $2 million to benefit the Nina Hyde Center for Breast Health at the Lombardi Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center.{{Cite web|url=https://www.3blmedia.com/News/Chambord-Announce-Partnership-Iconic-Designer-Betsey-Johnson-and-Fashion-Targets-Breast-Cancer|title=Chambord Announce Partnership with the Iconic Designer Betsey Johnson and Fashion Targets Breast Cancer During October|last=Corporation|first=Brown-Forman|website=www.3blmedia.com|language=en|access-date=2019-12-13}}
Since 2011, the council has led an annual campaign to promote the initiative and partners with well known fashion icons. In 2017, Fabletics partnered with Fashion Targets Breast Cancer to produce an activewear collection. A portion of all sales for the collection would be donated to target breast cancer screening and treatment.{{cite web| url= http://stylecaster.com/kate-hudson-fabletics-breast-cancer-awareness-collection/%7C |title=Kate Hudson Launches Breast Cancer Awareness Collection with Fabletics| author=Eli Flesch| publisher=Stylecaster| access-date=December 10, 2017}}{{cite web| url=http://beta.latimes.com/fashion/la-ig-wwd-kate-hudson-breast-cancer-fabletics-collection-20170927-story.html%7C| title=Kate Hudson unveils CFDA and Fabletics' Fashion Targets Breast Cancer collection| author=Marcy Medina| date=September 27, 2017| work=Los Angeles Times| access-date=December 10, 2017}}{{dead link|date=April 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}
