The Fashion Awards is a ceremony held annually in the United Kingdom since 1989 to showcase both British and international individuals and businesses who have made the most outstanding contributions to the fashion industry during the year. The ceremony is organized by the British Fashion Council, and is the primary fundraiser for the BFC’s Education Foundation; a charity that promotes excellence in design by financially supporting students with the ability and potential to make an exceptional contribution to the fashion industry.

The BFC is a not-for-profit organisation, whose aim is to support sustainable growth for the sector, with wide ranging activities which include charitable initiatives that support educational programmes and scholarships through to financial and mentoring awards for emerging talent.
