The nominees for this year's edition of the British Fashion Council event later this year include Martine Rose, Kim Jones, Paloma Elsesser and LABRUM London.

The Fashion Awards is the annual British fashion event which brings the global industry together - it's London's answer to New York's The Met, many say. For the 2023 edition, held on Monday 4 December at the Royal Albert Hall, the awards ceremony will introduce new categories, celebrating both new and established talent on equal footing. With the New Establishment categories added in addition to the Designer of the Year awards, there's more space for the new guard like Martine Rose to have their own space, whilst old age brands like Valentino will be recognised in the main Designer of the Year category to be announced later this year.

Discover the nominees below.
