Last night, the creme de la creme of London fashion (yes, including us) gathered at the London Coliseum for this years British Fashion Awards celebrating the best and brightest of London talent. The perfect chance to blow our own patriotic trumpet. So who won big? Well J Dubz (J.W. Anderson to you) did the double dip, taking home both Menswear and Womenswear designer of the year, whilst Mr Tom Ford took home the glam sounding Red Carpet award, accepted on his behalf by Lady Gaga and our very own cover star Lucky Blue Smith. Model of the year went to Jourdan Dunn, on the backdrop of an XXL 10 Mag cover on the screen behind and Karl Lagerfeld appeared like a travelling royal to receive his award for Outstanding Achievement in Fashion from Anna Wintour herself. We didn’t know whether to bow, courtesy or avoid eye contact completely. Here’s the full list of winners below and the glamorous hosts and hostesses who presented the awards. Congratulations to one and all!
