The British Fashion Awards - 2012
This years “British Fashion Awards” was held at The Savoy Hotel and Theatre in London, yesterday on the 27th of November. Gemma Arterton, a British actress, and Nick Grimshar, a British television and radio presenter, were the hosts of the night.
For
the third time running, Alexa Chung picked up the British Style Award. It isn’t
surprising as she dresses fashionably, classy, yet brings her personality into
what she wears.
The
Emerging Talent Award – Ready to Wear, was given to J.W. Anderson. Not long ago
he did a collection for Topshop, and many of the pieces were fresh and
inviting.
Sophie
Hulme went home with the Emerging Talent Award – Accessories. She is best known
for her bag designs.
The
award for the Outstanding Achievement in Fashion, was taken away by Manlo
Blahnik CBE. During Manol’s career he has influence the fashion industry of
today, and deserves to be recognised for his work.
The
Red Carpet Award was given to Roksanda Ilincic. Inconic figures like, the Ducess of Campbridge and MIchelle Obama have been seen her designs, so it was a well earned award.
A
British designer, Nicholas Kirtwood, won the Accessories award. He has come up
with many fabulous shoes, jewellery and accessories over some time.
Emerging
Talent Award – Menswear, was won by Jonathan Sauders. Over this year, he has
broken into the design world creating many lovely pieces.
The chairman of the
British Fashion Council, Harold Tillman CBE, was privileged enough to be awarded
the Special Recognition award, for his contributions towards British fashion.
The
Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator, was picked up Professor Louise Wilson
OBE. This year she celebrated her twentieth year at the Course Director
for Fashion MA at the prestige art school, Central Saint Martins. She has been
praised for bringing up the biggest names in the fashion world, like, Louise
Gray, Christopher Kane and Simone Rocha.
The New Establishment Award was picked up by Erdem. Fairly new
in the fashion world, Erdem’s most recent two seasons have hoisted his audience
and praise.
When
Cara Delevingne was awarded Best Model, I was in total agreement. Cara is very
fresh and over the past year she has given us a taste of her distinctive style.
Her Victoria Secret show and Burberry modelling, she has proved her self to the
modelling world.

One of
the best parts of the night is the Red Carpet! Celebrities, designers, and
fashion icons, all dress up for the glamorous night. My all time favourite
outfit of the night was definitely Gemma Arterton’s, with her Stella McCartney jumpsuit and gorgeous
rainbow metallic pumps. This was very closely followed by both of Rita Ora’s
outfits. She didn’t disappoint with her first, Vivienne Westwood aqua blue
strapless gown, and her second, cream Stella
trousers, a knitted top, and rainbow metallic shoes and bag.
What did you think of the ceremony? Did you favourites win?
