Christmas cheer is not the only feeling in the air, there is a great aura of change within the atmosphere of the fashion world.
This was felt on the first Monday of December, at the British Fashion Awards, which was held in celebration of talent, innovation, and creativity. As the red carpet was rolled out, signs filled the walkway boasting possessing powerful messages. Some of these slogans included: ‘green is the new black’; ‘waste size, not waist size’ and ‘design the future’. It is extremely exciting to see a shift in attitudes toward sustainability on such an influential level within the industry and shows a positive direction for the year 2020.
I’ve curated a list of my favourite looks of the night, based upon on concepts, styles and wow factor…
