Creme of Fashion: The British Fashion Awards 2008



Yesterday Jourdan Dunn was crowned model of the year, Luella Bartley was named Designer of the year and Louise Goldin was offered the Swarovski Emerging Talent Awards for ready-to-wear.

But the 2008 British Fashion Awards did not only make for speeches and new talent.

It is fashion, which means a party to celebrate style talent is about who wore what.

First of all, there was Jourdan Dunn's white knitted Stella McCartney dress, and Luella was in her own lilac designs.

There were some interesting choices but overall the awards lacked the eccentricity of other creme-of-fashion parties.

The best style must have been Stephen Jones who wore his black crown all evening after being crowned for Outstanding Achievement In Fashion Design by Erin O'Connor.

The full list of the winners:
  • DESIGNER OF THE YEAR: Luella Bartley
  • OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN FASHION DESIGN: Stephen Jones
  • MENSWEAR DESIGNER: Christopher Bailey for Burberry
  • MODEL OF THE YEAR: Jourdan Dunn
  • ISABELLA BLOW AWARD FOR FASHION CREATOR: Tim Walker
  • DESIGNER BRAND: Jimmy Choo
