We are thrilled to reveal the winners of The Fashion Awards 2024 presented by Pandora (TFA). TFA, organised by the BFC, is a key fundraiser for the BFC Foundation and celebrates the role of fashion at the intersection of culture and entertainment, spotlighting creative talent and telling the stories of the year in fashion.
The evening, co-hosted by British broadcaster Maya Jama and musical artist Kojey Radical, celebrated 16 awards. TFA nominees and winners are voted for by an international judging panel of industry experts.
This year, everyone was invited to join TFA and participate in the event virtually. On Instagram, exclusive takeover content was shared by presenter Lea Ogunlami via @britishfashioncouncil and viral sensation @thepeoplegallery_. TikTok accounts @TheFashionAwards and @ly.as also posted live updates, showcasing the incredible looks as they hit the red carpet. Additionally, those at home could immerse themselves in the evening by attending virtually through the DREST fashion styling mobile app.
As guests arrived, Emmanuel Lawal and Ashton Gohil of AUDIOCOMINGSOON set the vibe with a DJ set.
