The 2019 Fashion Awards is upon us. Slated for December 2, 2019 inside the Royal Albert Hall, London, the nominees set to grace the occasion in hopes of winning have been revealed.
Big names and brands in the fashion industry have all in one way or the way scored multiple nominations for their outstanding achievement in the year under review. In the category of brand of the year, household name brands such as Gucci and Prada are in contention with new frontrunners Bottega Veneta, Jacquemus and Loewe. Counting 2019 as her big year in fashion, Rihanna’s Fenty house is up against Alyx, Marine Serre, Martine Rose and Moncler Genius for the Urban Luxe Award.
The list also includes Naomi Campbell as the BFC Outstanding Fashion Icon of the Year for her contribution to the industry. Giorgio Armani is also in a lone race as recipient of the 2019 Outstanding Achievement Award.
As part of this year’s celebration, the industry is set to celebrate 100 young creatives, ranging from photographers, stylists, set designers to makeup artists, all forming part of the New Wave: Creatives Scheme, which the BFC launched last year.
