Taking place on Monday 29th November at the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington, the iconic awards ceremony will look to the industries’ role at the intersection of creative culture with special live performances and a tribute to some of the biggest fashion moments of the year. 

With over 1000 key members of the international fashion industry being invited to vote across the show’s many awards, the BFC has also introduced a Leaders of Change accolade, which will be presented to an array of designers, creatives and individual spirits who have fostered positive change in the industry this past year.
