The Fashion Awards 2018 to take place in London on December 10

Roll out the red carpet... the date has been set for the Fashion Awards 2018.

The British Fashion Council (BFC) has announced that The Fashion Awards 2018 in partnership with Swarovski will take place at London's Royal Albert Hall on Monday December 10.

The prestigious annual ceremony celebrates the best of both the British and international fashion industry, honoring established and emerging creative talent, brands and retailers. The 2017 edition singled out industry heavyweights such as Dior's Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri and Donatella Versace, as well as supermodel Adwoa Aboah and rising star Charles Jeffrey Loverboy. Nominees for 2018 will be voted on by an international judging panel of major industry figures.

This year's event will once again act as a fundraiser for the non-profit organization the BFC, whose charitable initiatives and educational programs aim to support and nourish home-grown creative talent from school level through to established businesses. Last year, the BFC raised over £2.2million (US$2.90) for these charitable initiatives.
