BFA Awards: Stella McCartney Leads Fash Pack



























It's one of the most prestigious nights in fashion, and it's been another great one for our fash pack yet again with Stella McCartney alone scooping awards for both best designer brand and designer of the year.

Alexa Chung came away for the third year running with the award for best British Style, the only award voted for by the public, beating the likes of VB and Kate Moss.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a major Chung fan, yet even I can appreciate the contribution she's made to our fashion, 5 years ago no one in the industry would be seen out without those killer heels, yet nowadays, even queen of heels Victoria Beckham has been seen out in 'monk shoes'.

The award for best model unsurprisingly went to 'her of amazing eyebrows' - Cara Delevingne (so amazing in fact that they now have their own Twitter page @caras_brows )whilst my personal favourite designer, Erdem won the New Establishment award.

Despite the flop that was his Topshop collaboration, JW Anderson still managed to scoop the RTW Emerging Talent award where as Sophie Hulme and Jonathan Saunders won the ET awards for Accessories and Menswear respectively.

Elle Style Awards 2012

We all know February is one of the biggest months for fashion, with New York Fashion Week still going strong, Sunday night seeing in the Grammy's and Bafta's whilst last night saw the fash pack head to the read carpet for Elle's Style Awards.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley was awarded 'Style Icon' award and looked as flawless as ever in a stunning Grecian goddess inspired Antonia Beradi gown which spoke for itself and was worn with her usually flowing locks pulled back with a slick middle parting.

Alexa Chung presented the awards and was back to her androgynous best in a tweed Stella McCartney suit whilst Florence Welsh, who scooped Best Music Act wowed in an Erdem Printed Shift.  Both wore pointed courts, a sure sign that platforms most certainly are on their way out.

Best outfit of the night?  Had to be model Poppy Delevigne who took to the red carpet in Mary Katrantzou's latest collection for Topshop and had our skeptical selves deciding that we most certainly WILL be purchasing from the latest Topshop collaboration as soon as it hits the stores.


David Gandy led the way for the males in his Grey Suit Jacket and brown pants whilst London Rapper Dizzee Rascal and DJ Nick Grimshaw opted to go for suits with electric blue hues.
