The winners of the British Fashion Awards set the temperature of the British fashion scene

If Paris prides itself on being the fashion capital of the world, it’s been a long time since it stopped handing out its Fashion Oscars or its Golden Dice (formerly an awards ceremony that ran from 1976 to 1990). In the United States, however, the Council of Fashion Designers of America continues to present its CFDA Awards each year. Similarly, in the United Kingdom, the British Fashion Council (British Fashion Council, often abbreviated BFC) also has its ceremony, whose 2022 edition allows you to take the temperature of European luxury.

Thus, on December 5, the British Fashion Awards 2022 ceremony was held in London, of which here are the winners.

These names may not be familiar to you, and for good reason: on the one hand, British fashion is proving to be particularly edgy, and on the other, it’s also a sign of the degree of disconnection of the luxury industry from the rest of the world. Whether this is good or bad news is up to you…
