The designer Maria Cornejo is receiving the lifetime achievement award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America after 25 years without even being nominated.

Cornejo has stayed away from trends and paid celebrity ambassadors. She has avoided all the things designers are now expected to do as they become so-called creative directors, and fashion brands become content providers in the realm of globe-straddling entertainment.

“I never meant to be a rebel,” said Cornejo in an interview with The New York Times. “It was more just doing my stuff in a quiet way that I believed was best. I’m quite stubborn. I wanted to make wearable clothes that would feel good, but I didn’t want boring mom clothes. The goal was to have a great collection, be able to pay everybody on time. Pay myself. Be home to see my kids. And have a vacation every once in a while.”

She is, by that measure, a great success. Michelle Obama wore Cornejo’s designs when she was first lady and invited her to be part of a fashion workshop at the White House. Her customers also include the actresses Tilda Swinton and Laura Linney, and the model-turned-activist Christy Turlington.
