On 5 December the winners of the 2016 Fashion Awards, hosted by the British Fashion Council and Swarovski, will be announced at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The nominees were announced earlier this week and judging by the looks of it, competition is fierce.
This year’s competition reveals the industry’s changing tastes, with new categories like International Urban Luxury Brand joining more established categories such as British Emerging Talent and British Brand. This means the 2016 awards will feature an exciting mix of fashion talents with a wider global span.
Supplementary to the categories, six honouring awards will be given out on the night, including Creative Influencer, Fashion Icon and the Swarovski Award for Positive Change.
