EXCLUSIVE: Tom Ford tapped as new chairman of the CFDA, sources say.
Tom Ford — chairman of the CFDA?
That’s the plan, according to sources, who say that Diane von Furstenberg is ready to step down from the post, with Ford poised to take over. Both the CFDA and Ford declined comment Wednesday.
The move would come after von Furstenberg’s legendary 13-year tenure during which, working with CFDA chief executive officer Steven Kolb, she oversaw a period of unprecedented, heady growth for American fashion and the organization itself, followed by the current period of volatility triggered by seismic cultural changes within and outside of fashion. The CFDA board is due to meet Tuesday to vote on Tom Ford's nomination as chairman of the association. Link in bio.

![Is Times Square cool now? Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Joan Smalls, Elsa Hosk, and more made the case at the Times Square Edition opening Tuesday night.
.
Just ask nightlife mogul Ian Schrager. “Studio [54] was in this neighborhood, The Meatpacking [district] was an unseemly place. SoHo was unseemly. TriBeCa was a truck stop. That’s part of being in a great city — it continues to evolve and people go there if that alchemy happens,” Schrager said.
.
His team asked Diana Ross if she would perform for the Edition’s opening night (after having performed closing night at Studio 54 in 1980), and she said yes. The crowd screamed in delight when Ross came on stage, with Rodgers accompanying on guitar. They sang along to “I Will Survive” like it was 1978. 📸: @lexieblacklock
