British designers and creatives are renowned for their ability to set the global fashion agenda. Each year the British Fashion Awards celebrates their creativity and success.

Established in 1989, the British Fashion Awards was born from the British Fashion Council’s then five-year-old Designer of the Year Award. For almost 20 years now, the British Fashion Awards has been celebrating the contributions of British designers, creatives and models to the international fashion scene.

The British Fashion Awards begins with a drinks reception followed by dinner and then the awards ceremony itself. 2009 sees The Royal Courts of Justice host the glamorous event for the very first time.
