This year's much-anticipated Fashion Awards finally arrived on Monday night – and as London was busy rolling out the red carpet for evening's star-studded arrivals, fashion fans were busy getting clued up on the nominees. After all, it was a sure-fire way to skip any sort of extensive research and really find out the major names to know in the fashion industry right now.
This year's Fashion Awards, presented by Pandora, took place on Monday December 4th, and once again returned to London's iconic Royal Albert Hall.
“The Awards celebrate the role of fashion at the intersection of culture and entertainment, spotlighting creative talent and telling the stories of the year in fashion through the lens of purpose, excellence, and creativity”, said the British Fashion Council. “British creative energy will be celebrated for its impact on the fashion industry globally.”
Believe it or not, the official start of winter is only just arriving.
So who were the big names being championed this year, and which brands went home with the night's most prestigious awards?
