THE SCOOP: BRITISH FASHION AWARDS.

BRITISH FASHION AWARDS.

I just love the British fashion scene. Actually, I love fashion from all over the world. It's always interesting to see how similar or different fashion & trends are on the other side of the world. Most times, I'm usually inspired with my own looks from my fashionistas overseas! Last night was a HUGE night in British fashion as the British Fashion Awards took place in the UK. Awards were presented to those who have made the most outstanding contributions to British clothing design in the past year. The awards include that of British Designer of the Year, as well as awards to the 'most-fashionable' celebrities in other various fields. The awards are organized by the British Fashion Council.

DESIGNER THREADS

Was the memo sent out for all the designers to wear black? But hey, you can never go wrong with black. Everyone looked great. Especially the men! I love that scarf look on a man. It's classic. (see: Giles Deacon). Tres chic.

FASHION MISSES

I'm happy to report there weren't too many fashion mistakes on the red carpet. But for the few I did catch, I tried to look at these outfits as fair as I could with my fashion eye. But in the end, they just didn't do it for me! And yes even designers commit fashion no-no's from time to time. (see: Vivienne Westwood) What in the world?

Jasmine Guinness in a black corseted dress. I just couldn't get with this dress. The fabric perhaps?

Daisy Lowe wanted to make sure she stood out from the crowd in body art head-to-toe and a strapless prom dress. Didn't work too well for me.

Fashion icon and couture collector Daphne Guinness. I normally love her but last night just wasn't her night. What is that skirt made out of ?!

Vivienne Westwood, who won Outstanding Achievement In Fashion Design looked rather festive (for a lack of meaner words). Just because you're a designer doesn't mean you can't look a mess too. Still love her though.
