BRITISH FASHION COUNCIL & GRAZIA LAUNCH STYLE ICON AWARD

OK, this is going to be FUN. The British Fashion Council is launching a one-off award to celebrate 25 years of London Fashion Week which will seek to find a style icon who best embodies 'the spirit of London…as a leading creative fashion capital… '.

The award will also give you the opportunity to be part of the British Fashion Awards, by voting for your favourite. Grazia is teaming up with the British Fashion Council to promote the ‘London 25’ award, which is the BFC’s first award in which the nominees will be put to a public vote. The winner will be announced at the British Fashion Awards ceremony on 9 December .

So far, only some of the 25 nominees have been chosen. Some are household names, others are influential individuals that are virtually unknown outside the industry. The rest will be finalized today in a meeting of industry heavy weights, including Grazia’s Style Director Paula Reed. See below for Grazia‘s exclusive preview of the current short list, which as the BFC states ‘recognise the many individuals that make London a cultural force in the global fashion industry.’

^^ I love Alexa's style, but in that list she doesn't stand a chance imho

 

[XxpinktinksxX]

I really like Alexa's dress

 

[Ievut]

I hope she wins!

 

[gossiping]

ya i mean especially since she is in NY now i don't see her winning but i hope she has a chance

 

[loonaka]

Not really loving that striped cardi dress she's wearing.

 

[Bellechloe]

oh i love it!

 

[StarsInHerEyes]

I love her style, but I feel like there are some better choices on that list.

 

[Izzi]

I think Alexa is too much of a 'newcomer' to win something like that, considering how prestigious some of the others are in that list. Nevertheless, I do hope she does.

 

[spiteville]

i agree. Since there celebrating 25 years of London Fashion Week, i think you need someone who has made a large contribution to fashion. Maybe in 20 years time she'll win!

 

[dopagenic]

eh..not liking the cardi-dress

 

[lizbabe09]

Her hair looks adorable in those pictures with Lady gaga

 

[DiamondSea]

[Ievut]

OMG^ I want this dress soooooooo much. But it's too expensive for me ;/

 

[irenabilo]

yes, I agree that she's a newcomer in that list. tbh, everyone next to the grand name of Kate Moss looks like a newcomer

 

[irenabilo]

oh and I love the dress!

 

[SwingingSixties]

Its Alexa's Birthday today!!!

[gossiping]

i hate that dress so much, EVERYONE has it...

i like the tights and boots but not with the dress either what is she thinking

 

[disfordangerous]

Ahaha, I have that dress, never worn it. I don't want to either it scares me. I think shes the only person I've seen yet who looks good in it.
Oh and happy birthday Alexa! She's 26 isn't she?

 

[loonaka]
