J W Anderson wins Designer of the Year at last night's fashion awards

Last night J W Anderson took home ‘Designer of the Year’ award at the British Fashion Council ‘Fashion Awards 2023.’

Of course Anderson wasn’t the only one to take home an award last night, Sarah Burton who took on the mantle after Alexander McQueen passed, was honoured with a special achievement award for her 13 years as Creative Director. She has left a very large gap in the role of women as Creative Directors in the fashion sector.

Sarah Mower was also awarded a special recognition award for championing young designer talent. Her dedication to New Gen talent in all forms has been game-changing for so many and something which Anderson acknowledged in his speech.

Finally, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue, Edward Enninful OBE, received the Trailblazer Award for his contribution to the fashion industry.

On Reimagining Fashion: An Update from Fashion Roundtable's Founder and CEO Tamara Cincik

It is clear that fashion and positive activism are now firm allies. Fashion Roundtable has been a key player in this shift: our two recent reports have highlighted the structural issues inhibiting diverse groups from achieving success, and the environmental and ethical impacts that the industry has on our planet and citizens. But Fashion Roundtable doesn't just shine a light on the problems, what we do is not just pain porn. We unravel the issues with the mission to then solve them— offering opportunities for transformation and pushing for an industry, and in turn society, which is fundamentally more inclusive and more sustainable.

British Fashion Industry Manufacturers and Designers are uniting to produce Masks and Personal Protective Clothing (PPE) for Front Line Staff during COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

Kate Hills, Founder, Make It British: “We are working on finding all of the UK manufacturers that can switch production to provide an end-to-end solution for PPE that is made locally. Whilst the government is currently concentrating on importing these products, this is a short term solution. Once these resources dry up, which they will do as global demand increases, we will need to tap into the manufacturing base that we have in the UK. We have had amazing support from a diverse range of manufacturers and I have every confidence that the UK textile industry is able to adapt and be agile enough to cope with the challenges ahead.”

Have you seen a shift in perception of the fashion industry among parliamentarians?

Yes, there’s a surprisingly avid interest that I’ve noted amongst cross-party members regarding the fashion and textile industry. Since becoming chair and raising the APPG’s ambitions in Parliament, I’ve found widespread support for these aims across the house.

Fashion Roundtable x The Hox Holborn

Bev Malik: “In reality is that it’s actually the negative practice of fat shaming, not feeling included in a fashion conversation and feeling kind of left out, that’s a kind of emotional scar on our society..”
