Nominations for The Fashion Awards 2016 announced
Dame Natalie Massenet, Chairman of the British Fashion Council (BFC) announced the nominations for The Fashion Awards 2016, alongside Karlie Kloss, Ambassador for the event’s lead partner Swarovski and Caroline Rush, BFC CEO. The announcement took place during a brunch, at Soho House West Hollywood in LA, attended by media, stylists, talent managers, retailers and friends of the BFC. Earlier in the year, 1500 key members of the fashion industry were invited to put forward their preferences for each category. The winners will be announced at a gala ceremony held at the iconic Royal Albert Hall, London in front of 4000 people on Monday 5th December. The Fashion Awards 2016 will be the first awards to celebrate the international industry, from business to creativity, from emerging talent to fashion icons. The Fashion Awards 2016 will act as the inaugural annual fundraiser gala for the BFC Education Foundation charity, supporting talent of the future. The Education Foundation offers scholarships to talented young people to study at the best universities as well as opportunities to fund apprenticeships to develop much needed industry skills.
