The 2023 Fashion Awards Nominees – VOGUE
Tue 5 Sep
The BFC has announced the first batch of nominees for the 2023 Fashion Awards.
We are hugely proud to see that three of the brands that we work with so closely – Martine Rose, Nensi Dojaka, and Bianca Saunders – have been nominated.
Martine Rose
British Menswear Designer Nominee
Nensi Dojaka
British Womenswear Designer Nominee
Bianca Saunders
New Establishment Award Menswear Nominee
For the first time, the British Fashion Council will recognise burgeoning designers across both menswear and womenswear categories. Dubbed The New Establishment Award, nominees for the menswear prize include Bianca Saunders and Saul Nash, while Chopova Lowena, Supriya Lele and Dilara Findikoglu have all had nods in the womenswear category. The line-up for Model of the Year is also the most diverse it’s ever been, with Alton Mason, Anok Yai, Kai-Isaiah Jamal, Liu Wen, Mona Tougaard, and Paloma Elsesser all in the running.
Elsewhere, the ceremony will return to its pre-pandemic tradition of crowning established figures with separate British Menswear Designer and British Womenswear Designer awards. The contenders run the gamut from Kiko Kostadinov to Kim Jones, Martine Rose to Grace Wales Bonner, and Maximilian Davis to Simone Rocha. With further categories yet to be announced (including two Special Recognition Awards and an Outstanding Achievement Award) 1,000 members of the industry have been asked to cast their votes, while the Model of the Year will be decided by the public.
All winners will be revealed on 4 December 2023 at the Royal Albert Hall.
