HONORING TOM FORD’S LEGENDARY CONTRIBUTION TO FASHION
This year’s Fashion Awards will honor designer Tom Ford with the Outstanding Achievement Award. Over the years, Ford has made a significant impact on global fashion. Notably, he transformed Gucci in the 1990s and launched his own brand with great success. His bold designs and impeccable tailoring set new standards in the industry.
In addition to his fashion career, Ford’s creative talents extend beyond the runway. His films A Single Man and Nocturnal Animals received critical acclaim. As a result, Ford’s remarkable legacy in both fashion and film will be celebrated this December at The Fashion Awards.

Beyond her influence in fashion, Dame Margaret’s philanthropic efforts have left a lasting impact. In 1988, she founded The Barbour Trust, which has since donated over £29 million to charitable causes. During the pandemic, Barbour’s factory produced PPE for NHS workers.
