To mark the 25th anniversary of the British Fashion Awards the British Fashion Council opted to introduce a special new award that recognises the individual who ‘best embodies the spirit of London’. The event which takes place on the 9th December is an annual event that recognises the outstanding contributions to British Fashion. The public will be the sole deciders of the award recipient, and can vote for their nominated style icon on the BFC’s website.
So UK fashionistas and fashionistos, get voting on who you feel deserves the unique award. Whether you’re a fan of Alexander McQueens OTT style or have a style crush on fash-pack newcomer Jameela Jamil, the BFC want your vote.
