| Performance Notes | This years Fashion Awards in partnership with Swarovski will recognise talent in design, creativity, business as well as outstanding contributions to the fashion industry. The glamourous event is the only global celebration bringing the best of the fashion industry together and gives the public the chance to rub shoulders with the worlds biggest stars. The celebration has been an important part of the fashion calendar since 1989.
The British Fashion Council is delighted to announce The Fashion Awards 2016, a celebration of global fashion for both the industry and the public. Previously known as the British Fashion Awards, this years Fashion Awards in partnership with SWAROVSKI will take place on Monday 5th December 2016 at the iconic Royal Albert Hall. The Fashion Awards 2016 will celebrate the best of British and international talent from the global fashion community, in London.
The new format has a core aim - to raise significant funds over the next ten years for education scholarships to help the best talent attend leading fashion colleges. The Fashion Awards will be an annual fundraiser gala for the British Fashion Council Education Foundation charity.
Dame Natalie Massenet, BFC Chairman commented: Our aim is to make the Fashion Awards 2016 bigger and better than ever and will celebrate the global fashion industry at the beautiful and iconic London venue, the Royal Albert Hall. Nadja and her team at Swarovski have made these awards possible and we are thrilled to be working in partnership with them once again. As a global industry we should make a commitment to support talented people from all backgrounds to fulfil their dreams and access the best universities in the world. Over the next ten years our ambition is to raise and invest £10million to support young people in this goal. London is seen as the capital for the most creative new talent in the world that provides talent and energy for the global fashion industry.
Nadja Swarovski, Member of the Swarovski Executive Board commented: Supporting emerging talent and celebrating creativity is in Swarovskis DNA, so we are delighted to partner again with the BFC on the Fashion Awards, which are not only celebrating the most creative expression in fashion on a global scale, but also raising funds for education in fashion. The Royal Albert Hall is the perfect venue for this evolved event, which will truly celebrate and cement Londons position as the worlds pre-eminent creative hub, whilst giving back to the fashion industry.
Caroline Rush CBE, BFC Chief Executive stated: We have been developing a large scale Awards format that this year will become a celebration of British and international excellence as well as a significant fundraiser to give opportunities to talented young people. Our ambition for the evening is that the best of the fashion world will come together in London to recognise talent in design, creativity, business as well as those whose outstanding contribution to the industry have significant changed it for the better.
Sarah Mower MBE and Meribeth Parker presidents of the BFC Education Pillar and Trustees of its Education Foundation said: "It's a fact that without the stream of talent Britain's great fashion education teaches, London Fashion Week could not be the vibrant force it is today. Now that students are facing extreme debt, we are aware of how vital it is to continue to identify, encourage and financially support the people the fashion business will depend on in the future. The British Fashion Council Education Foundation is committed to introducing young people to the huge variety of opportunities which now exist in the industry on the business sides as well as the creative. The money raised from this drive will underpin work in schools, support apprenticeships and enable BA and MA students to continue their studies. We are grateful for every philanthropic donation to this cause, which secures the future not just of talented young people, but of the industry itself."
Each year the awards are voted on by the BFCs international judging panel, made up of an international panel of 1,500 industry influencers. The Fashion Icon award was voted for by the public. This celebration has been an important part of the British fashion calendar since 1989.
The Creative Influencer award, Urban Luxury award, Business Leader award and Accessories Designer of the Year award were new awards for 2016. To reflect the 32nd anniversary of the first Fashion Award given by the BFC, 32 creative influencers were honoured during a special moment during the gala ceremony.
Nominations for the Fashion Awards were announced on 25 October 2016 by Dame Natalie Massenet (Chairman of the British Fashion Council), alongside Karlie Kloss (Swarovski Ambassador) and Caroline Rush (British Fashion Council CEO) at Soho House West Hollywood in Los Angeles, USA. The Awards nominations were simultaneously revealed at a screening at the Mondrian London and digitally via a private URL to influential international media and retailers. The Special Recognition Award was announced on the night.
The British Fashion Council and Swarovski commissioned Marc Newson to create the bespoke crystal trophies presented to award winners. Created by and crafted from Swarovski Crystal, the hexagonal design drew inspiration from crystal clusters and rock structures. The trophies were handcrafted at Swarovskis headquarters in Wattens, Austria and measured 245mm in height by 67mm wide.
Public seats were available in the Circle only, with invited guests on the tennis floor and in boxes.
