Luella named designer of year

The crème de la crème of the style industry was out in force last night, to celebrate the British Fashion Awards.

Taking place at Lawrence Hall in Westminster, the star-studded event saw a stylish line-up take to a Swarovski crystal-strewn black carpet to celebrate the best of British fashion talent.

So who picked up the prizes? Bagging the evening's top honour, Luella Bartley took home the Designer of the Year title, while Louise Goldin was tapped to follow in her footsteps, as the recipient of the Swarovski Emerging Talent Award.

The evening attracted a glamorous line-up of supermodels, including Claudia Schiffer, Laura Bailey and Yasmin le Bon, but it was newcomer Jourdan Dunn who was the talk of the evening, cementing her status as the next big thing by picking up Model of the Year.

Other mentions went out to Matthew Williamson, who picked up Red Carpet Designer of the year, while Best Designer Brand was won by Jimmy Choo.

Honouring his contribution to the industry Stephen Jones was awarded the Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design, presented to him by his friend and muse Erin O'Connor.

With stylistas, models and designers all in attendance, the evening proved again to be one of the most glamorous on the fashion calendar.
