Highlights of the British Fashion Awards 2009

2009.12.11

From all accounts, this years British Fashion Awards was quite a night. The evening, which topped off the 25th anniversary celebrations for London Fashion Week, attracted an A-list line-up of celebrities, including Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Twiggy and Vivienne Westwood.

Victoria Beckham was in also attendance, showing some love for British fashion stating that: “I love British fashion. I love the way people in Britain will really push the envelope, and it’s always really exciting to see who’s going to be the young British designer”. Victoria, as canny as always, wore one of her own creations at the event, and looked stunning. A great walking advertisement for her fashion line.

The highly publicised London 25 Award, which went to public vote to recognise the “individual who embodies the spirit of London”, was given to Kate Moss (no shock there then!). Christopher Bailey walked away with the “Designer of the Year” award for the second time, winning it previously in 2005. Georgia Jagger, daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, was named “Model of the year”, beating off stiff competition in the form of Daisy Lowe and Rosie Huntington Whiteley. I would have preferred it if Daisy had of won as I think her look is far more interesting but that’s just my opinion.

My heart does go out to the fabulous Karen Elson, who took a tumble off stage and fell into the orchestra pit when presenting the “Isabella Blow Award”. Afterwards, Karen declared that:”I am the clumsiest person on this earth. I cannot believe I just did that.” Keep your head up Karen and laugh it off – these things happen to the best of us.
