Everything you need to know about the Fashion Awards 2022
This Monday, London hosted one of the major fashion ceremonies of the year: the Fashion Awards 2022.
Glam Observer attended the event for the second time, and this year was special as CEO Giada Graziano brought with her 2 students of The Glam Observer Fashion Academy - Ezgi and Udita - who won the tickets from the annual Student Giveaway.
What are the Fashion Awards and what does this spectacular night entail?
Formerly known as The British Fashion Awards, this annual celebration of excellence in the industry is hosted by the British Fashion Council (P.S: The British Fashion Council is a group of the most key individuals in the industry who come together to strengthen British fashion in the global economy as a leader in responsible, creative businesses) to shine a light on the people, fashion houses and businesses that have made outstanding contributions to the fashion industry in the past 12 months. You can think of it as the Grammys but for Fashion! This captivating ceremony was first held over 30 years ago, on 17th October 1989, and was attended by the one and only: Princess Diana.
This remarkable event also serves as a fundraiser for the BFC Foundation, a charity that focuses on helping to support the growth of the British fashion industry through educational purposes. In 2021, the BFC raised £1.3 million for the BFC Foundation and its British creative talent support initiatives, and this year the charity has supported over 35 designers and students.
Held every year at the Royal Albert Hall, this year’s show was hosted by British and Jamaican activist and actor Jodie Turner-Smith, and the room was filled with fashion’s most iconic and honorable individuals.
Read this article to discover the winners.

What's happening in the industry this week?💚
Chanel stages its Métiers d’Art 2023 fashion show in Dakar
This Tuesday, Chanel unveiled its Métier d’Art 2023 collection in Dakar, Senegal, becoming the first European luxury brand to stage a fashion show in sub-Saharan Africa.
The iconic French fashion house will also open the 19M exhibition in Dakar from January 12 to March 31 of next year at the Théodore Monod African Art Museum, which according to Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel’s president of fashion, is “targeted at students and apprentices of craftsmanship”. The brand also plans to work with local organic cotton producers as part of its efforts to become more sustainable.
Gucci’s Cruise 2024 show will take place in South Korea
Gucci revealed it will stage its Cruise 2024 fashion show in South Korea on May 15 at a location that will be confirmed later on. This show will mark the brand’s 25 years in the country since it opened its first flagship in Seoul in 1998. Let’s hope this show will see its day after the Cosmogonie show that was initially planned for November and canceled due to the recent tragic events in Seoul.

Both Miuccia Prada and Lorenzo Bertelli will remain active in the company - the latter as the chairman of the board, and Prada as creative director of Miu Miu and Prada. The Group is also set to announce soon a new brand CEO for its flagship Prada label.

The 7 pieces of outerwear and knitwear are made of sustainable textile waterproof technologies and were designed to regulate body temperature.
