The nominees for the British Fashion Council’s 2017 Fashion Awards have officially been announced.
Along with the expected designer and model contenders, this year’s awards also brought about a few newcomer nominees. Rihanna’s Fenty Puma and Supreme were both nominated for the first time ever as Urban Luxury Brand of the Year alongside Vetements, Off-White and Gosha Rubchinskiy.
As for the Model of The Year, the competition is fierce this year with Kaia Gerber making her debut as a nominee following her first-ever runway season. The 16-year-old daughter of Cindy Crawford is up against Bella and Gigi Hadid, Adwoa Aboah and Winnie Harlow. Last year, the prestigious award went to Gigi Hadid—but will it go to Gerber this year following her runway success? Or Bella, who has been virtually everywhere in the fashion industry this year?
