The style icon joined the best of British design talent ahead of the British Fashion Awards

As British Fashion Council Young Style Ambassador and winner of the British Style Award three years in a row, it’s fair to say Alexa Chung has the fashion industry’s seal of approval. And as one of only a few non-designers in attendance at the British Fashion Awards’ nominee dinner hosted by Grey Goose on Saturday, she’s firmly cemented her rightful place at the table. Pardon the pun…

Wowing in a white embroidered Erdem SS15 skirt and personalized Edie Parker clutch, Alexa showed off a newly chopped ‘lob’ as she chatted to the crème de la crème of British design talent, models and stylists at the Soho House pop-up restaurant in the former Central Saint Martins college campus.

Inside the event, which was hosted by the British Fashion Council’s Natalie Massenet MBE and Nadja Swarovski, it was a whose-who of the fashion world, with designers including Mary Katrantzou, Simone Rocha, Peter Pilotto, Roksanda Ilincic and Charlotte Olympia to name but a few.

The winners of the British Fashion Awards 2014 will be revealed at tonight’s ceremony at The London Coliseum. Will Alexa win big or will she lose out to the 2013 Style Award winner Harry Styles? Check back tomorrow for all the highlights, gossip and winners…
