This year, the British Fashion Council (BFC) approached over 300 members of the fashion industry, including international retailers and key opinion formers to vote for this year’s accolades.
Established in 1989, the British Fashion Awards celebrates the contributions of British designers, creatives, models and style icons that are renowned for their ability to set the global fashion agenda.
To recognise the ever growing globalisation of the fashion industry the British Fashion Awards 2013 has added an International Designer of the Year category to celebrate an influential international designer making waves on the global fashion scene.
The winners will be announced at this year’s award ceremony to be held at the London Coliseum on Monday 2nd December.
In addition, the British Fashion Awards will celebrate the Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator, which recognises a British stylist, make-up artist, photographer, art director or producer whose creativity has been a major inspiration and influence in the past year; the BFC Outstanding Achievement Award, which recognises someone whose work has had an exceptional impact on global fashion; and new to this year’s ceremony, the Best Creative Campaign Award which recognises the creativity behind the most innovative and dynamic piece of advertising in the past year. Winners for these awards are selected by the BFC press committee.
This year’s awards will also recognise today’s most influential British style icon, as voted for by the public through the British Style Award, brought to you by Vodafone.
“On behalf of the British Fashion Council I’d like to congratulate all the nominees and thank the incredible people behind this year’s nominations. Their support, expertise and involvement in the British Fashion Awards really shows the tremendous enthusiasm to recognise and celebrate the talent that defines and sustains our British fashion industry” - Caroline Rush, CEO British Fashion Council.
