The nominations were announced by Stephanie Phair, Chairman of the British Fashion Council (BFC), Nadja Swarovski, Member of the Swarovski Executive Board and Caroline Rush, Chief Executive of the British Fashion.

The Fashion Awards voting body - made up of 2,000 key members of the fashion industry - selected for their favourite candidates for each award. The nominations were made in ten categories with the five winners of each category shortlisted. Commenting on the news to press at the briefing, Nadja Swarovski, member of the Swarovski executive board, said: "Representing fashion’s most inspiring emerging and established talents, this list is the perfect showcase for the energy and diversity of the industry today.”

Additional awards, voted for only by the British Fashion Council, are awarded on the night and include Outstanding Achievement, the Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator, the Special Recognition Award for Innovation, and the Swarovski Award for Positive Change.
