Taking a cue from the entertainment industry, the fashion world is going to stand up and pat itself on the back next week as the Council of Fashion Designers of America hosts its annual awards show. Fantasia Barrino of "American Idol" fame will perform. A "who's who" list of honorees includes Sarah Jessica Parker, Donna Karan, Irving Penn, and Miuccia Prada among others.
