Taking place on the first Monday of December at London’s Royal Albert Hall, The Fashion Awards are the culmination of a year in style. This year’s starry ceremony – guests in attendance included Sharon Stone, Cate Blanchett and Little Simz – was presented by the American actor Colman Domingo (‘he brings the presence, spark and originality that makes him such a compelling figure on and off screen,’ said British Fashion Council CEO Laura Weir, praising his own ‘standout year’). Meanwhile musical accompaniment came from Raye and Tems.
Taking the evening‘s top prize was Jonathan Anderson, who won Designer of the Year for the third consecutive year – this time, for JW Anderson and Dior, where he made his debut earlier this year. ‘I love being in the house of Dior because it’s a massive challenge,’ he said, thanking Delphine Arnault, CEO of Dior, as well as his team and atelier. ‘I believe in collaboration, thank you so much for this honour.’

British Womenswear and Menswear Designers of the Year were awarded to Sarah Burton at Givenchy and Grace Wales Bonner respectively, while the Vanguard award – which spotlights the best in rising talent – was won by Dilara Findikoglu. Elsewhere, Italian designer Brunello Cucinelli – who has built an empire from his headquarters in the picturesque Umbrian village of Solomeo – won Outstanding Achievement Award, following last year’s winner Tom Ford.
