Whereas in the past all winners had to be Brit based, with the exception of the International Designer Award, it is now only the British Menswear Designer of the Year, British Womenswear Designer of the Year, British Brand and Emerging Talent Awards that hold any stipulation.
The new awards are for Urban Luxury, Creative Influencer, Business Leader, Ready-to-Wear Designer of the Year, and the SWAROVSKI Award for Positive Change. Meanwhile, previous awards for Emerging Womenswear Designer, Emerging Menswear Designer, Emerging Accessory Designer, Red Carpet Designer, Creative Campaign, New Establishment Designer, British Style - Fashion Innovator, British Style - Red Carpet Ambassador and Establishment Designer have been cut.
Out of the 15 awards that will be revealed on the night, 10 will be voted for by a prestigious voting panel (comprising members of the media, retailers, CEOs and creatives) and the Fashion Icon award will be voted for by the public. The special recognition awards will, as usual, be announced ahead of the ceremony which takes place on December 5.
The announcement of the revised categories comes as the BFC prepares to upscale its usual Coliseum ceremony to a Met Ball-style extravaganza at the Royal Albert Hall. See the full list of categories below.
