Taking an international stance The Fashion Awards celebrates exceptional individuals whose imagination and creativity have broken new ground in fashion over the past 12 months.

Hosted by Jack Whitehall and Karlie Kloss, the glamorous event celebrated fourteen awards, nine voted for by an international panel of 2000 industry opinion formers and five Special Recognition awards. Each winner was given a unique Swarovski crystal trophy, commissioned by architectural designer John Pawson.

JoJo Iles editor of FashionCapital comments: “There is no doubt that The Fashion Awards is one of the most glamorous events on the British fashion calendar, however I was personally pleased to see Stella McCartney OBE, pick up the Special Recognition Award for Innovation, her approach to incorporating material innovation and environmental sustainability is exemplary.”
