Once a year, the British Fashion Council organises the British Fashion Awards. This event is an opportunity for the fashion industry to celebrate and promote the extraordinary creative talents in the UK.
Since its inception, the Awards ceremony has been a highlight of the industry calendar on a par with the BAFTAS, and the BRITS.
The British Fashion Awards recognises fashion creators, models and celebrates designers at every level, from Swarovski Emerging Talent Award for Ready To Wear and Accessories, through to Designer of the Year. In addition the BFC recognises lifetime achievement. This year the BFC Award for Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design honoured Stephen Jones.
