BFC Chairman, Harold Tillman CBE, commented “The BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund is focused on celebrating talents that have the potential to be successful British brands of the future. The judging panel and funding is underpinned by leading business men and women in the industry to identify those with the potential and vision to succeed. All finalists presented professional plans and although the competition was incredibly close, Christopher Kane's success to date and brand development proposition secured him the prize this year.”
Alexandra Shulman, Editor of British Vogue, said "I am delighted that Christopher Kane has won this year's award. His last collection was one of his best with a strong point of view but also clothes that all of us want to wear. He represents the best of British fashion talent - original, determined and influential.”
