Photos: Ciara and Jennifer Fisher Getting Ready for the 2013 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards
Photographed by Taylor Jewell1/15For jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher, getting ready for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund awards dinner this year is much more relaxed than when she was a finalist nominee in 2012. “Win or lose, everyone looks out for each other,” Fisher says of the experience. “I didn’t know that yet last year.”

Moments later, Ciara arrives wearing an all-white Calvin Klein Collection look complete with a pair of hybrid tuxedo-carpenter pants. “You look hot!” Ciara tells her host, playfully emphasizing the w in hawt.
