The 2025 British Fashion Awards lit up London’s Royal Albert Hall with a night dedicated to creativity, innovation, and the designers shaping fashion’s future. This year’s winners reflected a mix of industry legends, rising stars, and cultural shifters who are defining the look and spirit of the decade.

Jonathan Anderson took home Designer of the Year, cementing his status as one of the most influential creative minds of our time with his work at Dior and JW Anderson.

In womenswear, Sarah Burton earned a triumphant win for her evocative, couture-inspired vision at Givenchy, while Grace Wales Bonner continued her reign as a cultural force, winning British Menswear Designer of the Year for her poetic tailoring and modern, diasporic storytelling.

One of the night’s most exciting moments came when Dilara Findikoğlu won the Vanguard Award, signaling a powerful new chapter for the boundary-pushing designer whose gothic romanticism has become one of fashion’s most unforgettable signatures.

And of course, Anok Yai was crowned Model of the Year, delivering a defining supermodel moment in her custom Dilara Findikoğlu gown and reminding the industry why she remains one of fashion’s most magnetic forces.

From emerging talent to global icons, the 2025 British Fashion Awards celebrated a year where fashion pushed boundaries, honored artistry, and embraced the future with confidence and imagination.
