Rihanna Will Be Honored With CFDA Fashion Icon Award. The CFDA  annual event recognizes the outstanding contributions made to American fashion by individuals from all areas of the industry. This is a great honor for Rihanna and well deserved. Whether you like her music or not you can’t deny her fashion sense. Rihanna doesn’t follow trends she makes them.

“We are proud to present Rihanna with the CFDA Fashion Icon Award for her impact on the industry as fashion’s most exciting ambassador in recent memory,” Steven Kolb, CEO of CFDA, said in a statement.

The 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards will take place on Monday, June 2 at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center.
