There is nothing that makes me happier than when a member of my fantasy fashion book club gets a well-deserved accolade. Last night two of the girls won big at the British Fashion Awards.
Victoria Beckham won Designer Brand of the Year, wearing a beautiful halter neck, pleated black column of loveliness. She gave a tearful speech in which she thanked all the relevant people and made us all a bit weepy in the process.
Alexa Chung won the British Style Award, which she attributed to her parents voting a lot. That's my girl. She wore a sparkling
Christopher Kane dress - and presented him with the award for New Establishment Brand.
Other notable awards included Designer of the Year which went to
Sarah Burton presented by
Samantha Cameron, the first lady of the UK, Model of the Year, which was won by
Stella Tennant, and Accessory Designer of the Year which was taken by
Charlotte Olympia, of the kitty shoes - see Alexa Chung's for reference.
Kate Hudson presented Stella McCartney with her award for Red Carpet Designer of the Year, fittingly wearing
Stella McCartney. Other well dressed attendees included Olivia Palermo, of course,
Kate Moss,
Poppy Delevinge (wearing what I think is
Valentino) and
Abbey Crouch.
