loading...
The British Fashion Council has announced that for the first time in its fashion awards history, the event will honour the role and influence creatives hold within the industry with the addition of a new award.
Over 1,500 key members of the fashion industry, including media, retailers, creatives and experts were asked to vote for this year’s accolades. The voters, who represented all the major fashion markets, nominated a series of creative individuals they felt should be recognised for exceptional achievements and excellence throughout the year.
The Creative Influencer nominees are the individuals behind the images, the shows and the campaigns whose influence has shone this year, as this new award is set to celebrate creative visions as team efforts, acknowledging not only the big names behind the label but also the individuals who help build that name.
Which is why in honour of the 32nd anniversary of the Fashion Awards, 32 creative influencers will be honoured during a special moment at the gala ceremony on December 5.
The full list of honourees is all follows: Alasdair McLellan; Alastair McKimm; Ashley Brokaw; Camilla Lowther; Camilla Nickerson; Charlotte Tilbury; David Sims; Edward Enninful ;Gary Card ;Glen Luchford ; Guido Palau ; Harley Weir ;Isamaya Ffrench ;Jamie Hawkesworth ;Joe McKenna ;Karen Langley ;Katie Grand ;Lotta Volkova ; Lucia Pica ; Marcus Piggott ;Mario Testino ;Mert Atlas ;Nick Knight ;Pat McGrath ; Patrick Kinmonth ;Paul Hanlon ;Ronnie Cooke ;Newhouse ;Sam McKnight ;Shona Heath ;Sylvia Farago ; Tim Walker and Tyrone Le Bon.
“A key part of our new focus for The Fashion Awards is ensuring we recognise all of the industry’s key players ," commented Dame Natalie Massenet, Chairman British Fashion Council. "32 years after giving our first award this new approach means recognising excellence in both business and design, as well as putting a spotlight on creatives working outside both of these spheres."
"The 32 Creative Influencers to be celebrated this year are part of a community of innovative talent that is the backbone of our industry, and makes it one of the most dynamic and exciting to work in.”
