The 2016 fashion awards, otherwise known as the Oscars of British fashion and considered the most notable night in the British fashion Calendar, took place at the Royal Albert Hall, London, on Monday 5th December at the iconic Royal Albert Hall, in partnership with Swarovski. Guests gathered to recognise talent in design, creativity, business as well as outstanding contributions to the fashion industry for the past 12 months, as well as to raise funds for the British Fashion Council’s Education Foundation charity for education scholarships to help the best talent attend leading fashion colleges.  The newly revamped fashion awards also recognised the careers of four individuals as well as the role of creative influencers in the industry.
