With the Fashion Awards only two weeks away, the British Fashion Council is continuing to stoke excitement for the big night, revealing yet another award winning beforehand. Earlier this month, the BFC announced <\/span>Anok Yai as Model of the Year<\/span><\/a> as well as the <\/span>50 young recipients of its NEW WAVE: Creatives<\/span><\/a> award, and now we can reveal that iconic talent incubator Fashion East<\/a> is also scooping a gong this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe British Fashion Council is pleased to announce that Lulu Kennedy and Raphaelle Moore will receive a Special Recognition Award for 25 years of Fashion East at The Fashion Awards 2025,\u201d the BFC shared with Dazed. \u201cThe Award honours talent incubator Fashion East which marks its 25th anniversary this year, recognising Lulu and Raphaelle\u2019s outstanding leadership and the impactful legacy of the initiative.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As well as the fancy award, this morning\u2019s announcement comes with a second piece of good news: the BFC is significantly increasing its support of Fashion East over the coming years. \u201cThe BFC is delighted to confirm that it will double its support over the next three years to Fashion East, to help ensure the UK remains the global leader in creative talent,\u201d read the statement. \u201cThis pipeline of talent is essential to the industry and to the work of the BFC Foundation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Over the course of 25 years, Kennedy and Moore\u2019s talent incubator\u00a0has offered bright design talent precious funding as well as prime slots on the London Fashion Week calendar. Names that have emerged from Fashion East include <\/span>Martine Rose<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Jonathan Anderson<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Maximilian Davis<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Simone Rocha<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Grace Wales Bonner<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Mowalola<\/span><\/a> to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had very little knowledge of the industry I was getting into when I launched Fashion East with the Truman Brewery back in 2000,\u201d said Kennedy when we asked her about the last 25 years. \u201cI just cared about listening to the designers we were looking after so we could figure out the best way to support them. I never could have guessed [the BFC] would honour us like this. It\u2019s a lovely surprise, thanks to the brilliant new energy and leadership of Laura Weir, who we love!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the statement released this morning, Weir also added: \u201cFashion East is one of the <\/span>most important incubators of creative talent globally. Lulu and Raphaelle have continually given emerging designers an essential first step into the fashion industry, both supporting careers and nurturing creative expression. I have personally experienced being part of the community that Fashion East creates, and our industry is a better place because of their unwavering commitment, instinct and belief in new ideas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this year, to celebrate Fashion East\u2019s 25th anniversary, Kennedy and Moore gathered designers and muses past and present for the Autumn 2025 cover of Dazed. Reflecting on all those designers, and looking forward to the next 25 years, Kennedy and Moore told us that they \u201cwon\u2019t change how we operate, or the energy we bring to support the designers. We\u2019ll keep relevant by respecting the designers vision and continue to join forces with likeminded allies much like Nike, Truman Brewery, Dazed and the ICA \u2013 patrons and partners who are aligned with us will ensure the legacy remains protected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
