The 2016 British Fashion Awards nominations are in
Fierce fashion
Run by the British Fashion Council (BFC), the Fashion Awards honour the fiercest international fashion talent from the freshest new faces on the catwalk (think: Bella vs Gigi), to the best business heads, to the creative genius' sketching the designs behind the scenes (Tom Ford vs Dame Vivienne Westwood), to the fashion-forward up-and-comers like Self Portrait.
This year's nominees were announced by BFC Chairperson, game-changing luxury e-tailer Dame Natalie Massenet (founder of Net-a-Porter), alongside super beauty Karlie Kloss and BFC CEO, Caroline Rush in the stylish confines of Soho House, LA. The nominees were selected from preferences put forward by 1,500 key fashion industry members and for the first time, include a stand alone luxe activewear category representing the key players in this on-trend segment.
The winners will be announced at a gala event held at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall on December 5, and if you're in London around that time, event tickets are available (details here). Not only will The Fashion Awards 2016 be a calendar highlight but also donate to a good cause, raising funds for the BFC Education Foundation charity to support emerging talent.
