Burberry also went home with the British Fashion Council’s Brand of the Year prize at a lavish ceremony held at the Royal Courts of Justice last night, attended by the likes of Victoria Beckham, Claudia Schiffer and Kate Moss.
Moss won a gong of her own, the London 25 Award, for the person who embodies the spirit of London, which was voted for by the public.
Bailey was recognised for his all-embracing work at the famous check-motif designers: not only does he knock out clothes and accessories, but he also handles the look of Burberry’s advertising and even its architecture.
