It’s that time of year again, Christmas, icy weather and most importantly the lead up to the British Fashion Awards.

And the shortlist for awards, which will be held on 9 December, has just been announced.
This year there are 11 categories, including Designer of the Year, Menswear Designer of the Year and the Swarovski Emerging Talent Awards for ready-to-wear and accessories.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Daisy Lowe and the new face of Rimmel, Georgia May Jagger will also be fighting it out of the model of the year category.

We really wouldn’t want to be in the judges shoes at the moment and think they’ll have a hard task choosing amongst the great talents out there.

This includes Burberry and Pringle for the designer brand of the year, Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders or Erdem for collection of the year and Mark Fast, and Meadham Kirchhoff and Peter Pilotto for emerging womenswear labels.

Caroline Rush, joint CEO of the British Fashion Council, said: “This year’s nominee list highlights the extraordinary breadth of British design talent.”

We can’t wait to see who comes out tops, but runners up, don’t worry, we’ll still be buying your fashions.
