Calvin Klein's Creative Chief Officer bags his fourth win at the prestigious fashion awards

&nbsp;

Raf Simons has done it again. Since being appointed as the Chief Creative Officer at Calvin Klein two years ago, the visionary Belgian designer has breathed new life into the American label with designs that finely balance modernity&nbsp;and the brand&#39;s&nbsp;heritage.

&nbsp;

Thanks to the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards that took place at the Brooklyn Museum on June 4,&nbsp;Simons now has an award to show for his efforts. That is, the biggest one of all: the&nbsp;Womenswear Designer of the Year.

&nbsp;

This is hardly his first accolade, though. At last&nbsp;year&#39;s CFDA, Simons made the headlines by winning both the titles of&nbsp;Womenswear and Menswear Designer of the Year, and back in 2014, he received the CFDA International Award for his contributions at Dior.&nbsp;

Simons shares the spotlight with Supreme founder James Jebbia, who took home this year&#39;s&nbsp;Menswear Designer of the Year Award. (However, that news has been met with quite a bit of criticism, since Jebbia <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/05/style/cfda-winners.html">stated</a> in his acceptance speech that he has &quot;never considered Supreme to be a fashion company or [himself] a designer.&rdquo;)

&nbsp;

Other highlights&nbsp;include Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen of The Row winning Accessory Designer of the Year&nbsp;&mdash; which they&#39;d previously won back in 2014 &mdash; as well as Kim Kardashian West&nbsp;taking home the brand-new Influencer Award&nbsp;after joking, &quot;I&#39;m kind of shocked that I&#39;m winning a fashion award when I&#39;m naked most of the time.&quot;
