Fashion Awards 2024: Who Nailed It, Who Played It Safe, and Who Just Missed

The Fashion Awards 2024 unfolded in dazzling style at London’s Royal Albert Hall, a night that celebrated the creative brilliance shaping the British fashion industry and beyond. Hosted by Maya Jama and Kojey Radical, the ceremony fused glamour and grit against the backdrop of a challenging year for the industry, marked by economic pressures and shifting global landscapes. But if the evening’s mood proved anything, it’s that fashion remains a resilient force of expression and innovation. Alexa Chung, wrapped in glittering Miu Miu and faux fur, set the tone on a red carpet that shimmered with archival treasures like Rihanna’s Christian Lacroix AW02 couture and modern masterpieces such as Lila Moss’s Alexander McQueen gown.

Inside, the night offered more than spectacle—it was a call to action, a celebration of culture, and a nod to the year’s most impactful moments. Tom Ford received the Outstanding Achievement Award, while Jonathan Anderson was crowned Designer of the Year, cementing his status as a modern visionary. Simone Rocha and Nan Goldin injected urgency into the evening with powerful speeches that bridged fashion and activism, reminding attendees that style is inherently political. Performances by Debbie Harry and Wizkid electrified the venue, while Chloe and Halle Bailey enchanted in bespoke Dilara Fındıkoğlu creations. Despite the glitz, the recurring message was clear: British fashion thrives not only on artistry but also on its capacity to adapt, reflect, and lead in uncertain times.
