After nabbing four of the eight awards handed out at last year's Fashion 2.0 Awards, apparel brand DKNY was once again recognized for its use of digital media, taking home awards for Best Twitter and Best Blog by a Fashion Brand.

The honors are well deserved. DKNY's Twitter account and Tumblr blog, both of which are run by Donna Karan International SVP of Global Communciations Aliza Licht, are entertaining, informative and exceptionally on-brand. The Twitter account features, among other things, live blogs of CW show Gossip Girl each week, and frequently engages in conversations with followers of all stripes. Meanwhile, the brand's Tumblr has become a go-to resource for humor-laced PR advice.

Winners were determined entirely by popular vote, following an open nomination round. One award — the Fashion 2.0 Visionary Award — was presented for the first time to Gilt Groupe cofounders Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, and was exempt from the voting process.

The awards, handed out for the third time at the SVA Theatre in New York City Wednesday evening, are designed to recognize innovation in an industry that, before the latter half of 2010, was sincerely behind other industries in its adaptation of digital media.

A full list of nominees and winners (in bold) are displayed below.
