The British Fashion Council's re-branded annual awards ceremony, held Monday night in London's Royal Albert Hall, drew scores of industry bigwigs from Anna Wintour to Kate Moss. The event was branded as a "mix of the Academy Awards and the Met Ball," and the red carpet — which included Gigi Hadid's Atelier Versace pants-dress mash-up to Lady Gaga's elegant Brandon Maxwell number — did its best to reflect that.
Whether or not the event will go to achieve the notoriety for cashgate scandal which its organizers have planned remains to be seen, but the prestige of its awardees is impressive on its own. Many of the winners were unsurprising, with Hadid being lauded as International Model and Alessandro Michele taking home the International Accessories Designer trophy for Gucci. Gucci also received recognition for its chief executive Marco Bizzarri, who won the International Business Leader award.
The only entity to win as much as Gucci was Demna Gvasalia, who was awarded both the International Ready-to-Wear Designer title for his work at Balenciaga and the International Urban Luxury Brand award for Vetements. (Never mind the fact that the latter practically sounds like it was invented as a way to ensure that Vetements would receive some kind of recognition, without which any fashion event in 2016 would seem incomplete capital hill).
