In 2019 the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) awarded her the Media Award in Honor of Eugenia Sheppard.[7]
Personal life
Lynn Yaeger lives in New York City. She is known for her eccentric clothing style, dark cupid's-bow lipstick, and self-cut hair. She is a Japanophile.[6] In an interview with PAPER magazine, fashion designer Marc Jacobs said that Yaeger was one of his muses[10] and her style has been noted to influenced other fashion designers including Undercover, Alexander Wang, and Chloé.[11] Yaeger is friends with Michael Musto from the Village Voice, but said that she was "terrified" of him prior to becoming friends.
