In partnership with Swarovski, London's Royal Albert Hall played host to 2017's British Fashion Awards on Monday evening. With huge prizes up for grabs, fashion's finest and Hollywood's best hit the red carpet, with appearances from Naomi Campbell, Donatella Versace, Christopher Bailey and Jonathan Anderson.

The ceremony packed a punch, with big-name winners such as Donatella Versace for the 'Fashion Icon' award and British Vogue's knockout star, Adwoa Aboah, for 'Model of the Year'. What is perhaps no surprise is Virgil Abloh's OFF-WHITE surpassing Vetements and Supreme to win the 'Urban Luxe Brand' award after his work gained major hype this year. On the flipside, newcomer Charles Jeffrey's Loverboy label struck gold, winning the 'British Emerging Talent - Menswear' award.

Despite a focus on British Fashion, Raf Simons snagged 'Designer of the Year' for his stunning contributions for Calvin Klein. The ceremony also saw Gucci's Marco Bizzarri and Craig Green win their respective awards for the second time running.

Overall, the star-studded night did well to balance celebrating fashion's future with dedications to long-serving veterans in the business. Dior's Maria Grazia Chiuri honored former Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozanni and model Naomi Campbell assembled a group of models to give a presentation on the legacy of the late Azzedine Alaïa, who passed away recently.
