With the end of the year fast-approaching (yes, really) the British Fashion Council is gearing up for another year of its Fashion Awards in partnership with Swarovski. Among the fashion heavyweights nominated – Alessandro Michele for Gucci, Demna Gvasalia for Balenciaga, and Miuccia Prada – there are also a bunch of upcoming names in the runnings. 

Nominated for the first time for the British Emerging Talent Menswear category – alongside Kiko Kostadinov and Samuel Ross’s A-COLD-WALL* – are the young design duo behind Art School, Tom Barratt and Eden Loweth. Elsewhere, in the Urban Luxe category, Alyx and Marine Serre are nominated, as well as Supreme and last year’s winner Off-White. All your fave models – Kaia, Adwoa, Bella, and Winnie – are battling it out again for the Model of the year, joined by newcomer Adut Akech. 

With the nominations now announced, the winners will be presented with their awards on December 10 – when the event will descend on the Royal Albert Hall once again.
