Victoria Beckham Anya Hindmarch and Anna Wintour are among those to be recognised in the Queen’s New Year Honours list.

Beckham receives an OBE for services to the fashion industry, 13 years after her husband, David Beckham, was awarded his title. Anya Hindmarch is appointed CBE, following on from her MBE in 2009.

Also named OBE for services to fashion this year are Imran Amed, founder and editor-in-chief of The Business of Fashion; i-D founder, Terry Jones; Angela Walters, Programme Director for Fashion at Central Saint Martins; and Simon Ward, chief operating officer of the British Fashion Council.

In entertainment, actresses Naomie Harris and Helen McCrory have both been named OBE. Wolf Hall actor Mark Rylance - who won an Oscar this year for his role in Tom Hanks-led film Bridge of Spies - has been awarded a Knighthood, as has Kinks frontman Ray Davies for their services to hospitality, Soho House founder Nick Jones and restauranteur Mark Hix have also been appointed MBE.
