The British Fashion Awards 2006

Last night was the British Fashion Awards, which is a big thing in the UK. (Unfortunately, not a lot of big names actually attend British events -it's really more of a British fashion insiders' thing.)

Laura Bailey looking like her normal gorgeous self in Burberry.

Erin O'Conner -No idea why she was nominated for the Model of the Year Award, since I can't remember her in much shoots this year, but she does look great in the simple but funky dress.

Daphne Guinness in a Chanel dress and Christian Lacroix coat.

Vivienne Westwood, who won the Accessory Designer award, dressed up... different from the others as usual.

Kate Moss not surprisingly, won the Model of the Year Award. I know a lot of people are complaining about how it's not right for a highly-publicised drug-user to get the award, but honestly, compared to the other two nominees (Alex Wek and Erin O-Conner), Kate Moss has obviously worked a lot more and achieved more success. Anyways, see my old post on Kate Moss's ads this season.

Since Giles isn't a well-known international brand, I thought I might remind you of the clothes. Above is a snapshot of the Giles FW06 collection.
