BRITISH FASHION AWARDS: ANNOUNCE NOMINEES
Approaching over 300 members of the fashion industry from international retailers to all round ‘opinion formers’ to compile a list of what you might call (if you’re feeling a little low on fashion vocab of a Tuesday morning) this years most important ‘movers and shakers’, the resultant British Fashion Awards nominees list has just been dropped. Beyond looking forward to the heart palps- as we route for those we find most deserving, we’re also rather excited about seeing who wears what on the London Coliseum’s red carpet come December 2nd. Or is it usually purple? We’re big fans of award ceremony get up wars as is- but the stakes are obviously raised with this many fashion professionals gathering under one roof.
