Victoria Beckham leads nominations for British Fashion Awards

Victoria Beckham has been nominated for two awards at the British Fashion Awards.

The 39-year-old designer is in the running for both the Brand of the Year and Red Carpet Designer prizes after being recognised for her contribution to the industry over the past year.

Christopher Kane, Phoebe Philo of Celine, and Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen are set to go head-to-head for the Womenswear Designer of the Year award.

Meanwhile, Cara Delevingne, Edie Campbell and Sam Rollinson will be competing for this year’s Model of the Year trophy.

Last year’s winner Stella McCartney – who walked away with Designer of the Year and Designer Brand in 2012 – has not been nominated for any of the awards this time.

For the first time ever, members of the public are allowed to attend the event held at the London Colliseum on December 2, but only a limited number of tickets are available.
