Actress Tilda Swinton accepted the Board of Director's
Tribute Award on behalf of Bowie's widow, Iman, at the 2016
Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards on Monday
night at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.
Michael C. Hall, one of the stars of "Lazarus," the musical
Bowie had worked before his death in January at the age of 69,
also performed.
"David Bowie was an influence on everything. He was a culture
event - his music, everything he was and we miss him," designer
Diane von Furstenberg said on the red carpet.
Bowie won fame for hits such as "Space Oddity" and plaudits for
trend-setting pop personas like "Ziggy Stardust" and pushed the
boundaries of rock, fashion, art and drama for decades.
Veteran designer Donna Karan received the Founder's Award. Norma
Kamali, Marc Jacobs and Thom Browne were also honored.
