The nominees are as follows:
Burberry, Mulberry and Pringle of Scotland nominated for the Designer Brand award.
Graeme Fidler for Aquascutum, Kim Jones for Dunhill, and Todd Lynn nominated for Menswear Designer.
Christopher Kane, Erdem, and Jonathan Saunders nominated for the BFC British Collection of the Year.
Emma Hill for Mulberry, Katie Hillier, and Nicholas Kirkwood nominated for the Accessory Designer.
Mark Fast, Meadham Kirchhoff, and Peter Pilotto nominated for Emerging Talent Award for Ready-to-Wear,
Holly Fulton, Camilla Stovgaard, Jessica McCormack, and Maria Francesca Pepe are nominated for the Emerging Talent Award for Accessories.
Models Georgia May Jagger, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Daisy Lowe are nominated for Model of the Year.
I’m quite excited to hear about this, especially the emerging designers category as they were on my blog as ones-to-watch. My fingers are crossed for Meadham Kirchhoff, they’re in the top three of my favorite designers.
With the exception of Ms. Jagger – whom I love – I’m not crazy about the model selection. I wish they would have considered Jourdan Dunn but she’s probably on her way out of the business considering she’s pregnant.
I believe Mulberry deserves this. They pulled off a coup with their Apple collaboration.
I wonder how Holly feels about the accessories mention. While she got her break as accessories designer for Lanvin, she’s working really hard to build a womenswear atelier.
Well, with all that said, fingers crossed!

There’s nothing sexier than actually feeling sexy. OK, I take that back.
The key to unlocking a woman’s self confidence lays within the garments that accentuate her curves. There, that sounds a lot better.
Yes, this is indeed true. There are many women that believe to wear less is to attract more men; Mark Fast designs with less cloth for women who want to feel more sexy.
The Canadian-born couturier designs body-hugging knitwear blending Lycra, viscose, angora and wool fabrics, with results that sway, sashay and wrap around the silhouette.
There’s a lot of legs and bare shoulders to spare. There are plunges, drapes and slits for the bold and the reckless. There’s a minimalism in Mr. Fast’s designs, but it’s juxtaposed with fierceness a la the fringe and sheer effects.
Be advised that the prices are high, stemming into the 1,000 (GBP) area and up.
I guess that also means that you better keep up your membership with the gym and be comfortable with at least four inch stiletto heels.
I love this collection. And you’re damn right I’d wear every ounce of it. I’ve been wearing skin-tight American Apparel dresses for a while now, I’d like to switch it up a bit.
