Fenty, Bottega Veneta, and Naomi Campbell Honored at the 2019 British Fashion Awards
The Fashion Awards is the biggest annual event hosted by The British Fashion Council, recognizing local and International talent who are shaping the global fashion industry. Last year's event saw a surprise appearance by Meghan Markle. The duchess of Sussex presented Givenchy's Clare Waight Keller — who designed Markle's wedding dress — with an award for British designer of the year (womenswear). In 2019, Bottega Veneta was the runaway winner, with a clean sweep across all nominated categories (of which there were four). They were in good company, too, with Rihanna's Fenty winning the Urban Luxe category, and of course, Naomi Campbell being honored with the Fashion Icon award.
