The pair is up for Accessories Designer of the Year this time around.

According to the CFDA website, the annual event "recognizes the outstanding contributions made to American fashion by individuals from all areas of the industry and related arts, with awards being given for design excellence in womenswear, menswear, and accessories as well as extraordinary accomplishments in journalism, creative vision, and lifetime achievement."

The awards will be given out on Monday, June 2 in a ceremony held at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, sponsored by Swarovski. Multitalented actor/comedian John Waters, who has presented at the event in the past, will host. Waters released a statement about the honor, saying, "I'm so excited to be invited back and I look forward to taking the stage to celebrate the thin line that divides fashion between glamour and creative insanity."

We would be, too.
