11月26日，英国时装大奖揭晓，年仅18岁的黑人模特Jourdan Dunn获得年度模特的桂冠。这位有黑珍珠美誊的名模自2006年出道来，因为特别的气质被各大时装品牌如Prada等选用，是英国为数不多的黑人和亚洲面孔中最成功的一位。她的获奖体现了英国时装界在多样性方面又前进了一步。

设计师Luella Bartley获得了年度设计师奖。Burburry的创意总监Christopher Bailey获得了年度男装设计师大奖，而最佳新人配饰设计师奖授予了鞋类设计师Nicholas Kirkwood。

'TRAILBLAZING' DUNN NAMED MODEL OF THE YEAR

Jourdan Dunn sealed a rapid rise to supermodel status last night by winning the Model of the Year title at the British Fashion Awards.

Dunn, 18, was "spotted" in Primark in 2006 when there were few black models on magazine covers or the catwalk. She has since graced the covers of Pop, i-D, Vogue and Italian Vogue for an issue dedicated to black models, and been the first black model to appear on the catwalk for Prada in 10 years.

Luella Bartley won Designer of the Year at the black tie event in central London; an award no doubt all the sweeter because the 35-year-old was beaten by Stella McCartney last year.

Christopher Bailey, the creative director of Burberry, won Menswear Designer of the Year for the second time running. Shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood won the newly created Emerging Talent Award for accessories.
