Last night, the best of the best form British Fashion donned their Sunday best to attend this year's edition of the British Fashion Awards. I was very happy to find out that some of my favourites – Burberry, Christopher Bailey, Agi & Sam, JW Anderson, had won very well-derserved awards.
To me, these type of fashion events are the perfect occasions to fashion fans and insiders to be have a bit more fun but perhaps because we're in December and it's freezing in London no one was too in the mood for this. My favourite looks of the evening were as follows.
Oliver Cheshire, a fashion scene regular, went for a shawl collar tuxedo jacket, which looked very interesting with the angular lines of his waistcoat – all by Marks & Spencer. The proportions were perfect and the hair, as usual, very cool. Harry Styles, who won British Style Icon, looked like a rockstar in a head-to-toe Saint Laurent look with a bit of sheer action happening on the shirt. It's a look we've seen before, especially on him, but it works so why not? Tinie Tempah is always one of my favourites any any kind of event. This time, the rapper wore a charcoal velvet jacket with slightly cropped black trousers and a classic b&w combination of shirt and bow tie, all by Burberry. He finished off the look with a pair of patent leather Jimmy Choo 'Mayfair' Derby shoes.

I'm not Frank: What I wore to the British Fashion Awards 2012

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you will undoubtedly know that on Tuesday night I attended the 2012 British Fashion Awards. I went a little picture crazy because not only I'm still testing out my (first ever) iPhone but I was terribly excited about the event as I had never gone to an awards ceremony before.
The whole night was pretty amazing. Starting with all the known faces around us at The Savoy Theatre , followed by the unexpected appearance of Valentino on stage, the Rita Ora performance at the end, the lovely Japanese dinner and the fun afterparty at Beat. And so, here is a quick recap – in pictures – of what I wore to the awards.

As you might remember, I've been coveting this Lanvin flower pin for quite some time. So I thought this was the best opportunity to finally get it from Mr Porter and add a nice touch to my look.

I do apologise for the blurriness but I took this on a cab. I wore my midnight blue jacket with a classic pair of black suit trousers from Hugo Boss paired with a funky pair of Gant socks (with stars all over them) and my favourite Sutor Mantelassi shoes I posted about recently.
