Marc Jacobs will receive the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2011 CFDA Awards.

2011 CFDA Awards will take place on June 6 at New York’s Lincoln Centre, where Marc Jacobs will receive this prestigious award. Besides, he will also contest for the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award, along with Alexander Wang, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler.

The nominees were unleashed last night by Diane von Furstenberg and Marc Jacobs was thrilled to be given the accolade.

"He's very happy, but he says it's only a half lifetime award because he's only halfway finished." told Furstenberg.

Other guaranteed winners will be eccentric singer Lady Gaga, who is to receive the Fashion Icon Award, and Phoebe Philo, whose work for Celine will land her the International Designer of the Year Award.
