Pandora and British Fashion Council announce The Fashion Awards 2024 presented by Pandora
Pandora and The British Fashion Council (BFC) are delighted to announce that The Fashion Awards (TFA) 2024 presented by Pandora will take place on Monday 2nd December 2024, returning to the Royal Albert Hall.
TFA unites the global fashion community in London, the home of fashion and creativity, to amplify leaders of change, celebrate excellence and support the next generation of creative talent. The event serves as the main fundraiser for the BFC Foundation, which supports the future growth and success of the British fashion industry through its focus on education, grant-giving, and business mentoring. TFA not only shines a spotlight on the outstanding contributions of emerging and established cultural fashion leaders, but also raises awareness of the foundation's vital work.
The BFC and Pandora will build on the success of last year’s collaboration, continuing to evolve the event as an entertainment platform that highlights the role fashion plays at the intersection of culture.
Caroline Rush, Chief Executive, British Fashion Council, said: “The Fashion Awards plays a vital role in raising funds for the BFC Foundation and securing the pipeline of British creative talent. We look forward to returning to the Royal Albert Hall on Monday 2nd December, alongside Pandora, to celebrate those who have made significant contributions to the global fashion industry and support the Foundation.”
Mary Carmen Gasco-Buisson, Chief Marketing Officer at Pandora, commented: “We are proud to continue our partnership with The Fashion Awards and the British Fashion Council for the second year. The BFC’s mission to celebrate and empower creative and visionary talent continues to align perfectly with Pandora’s mission to give a voice to people’s loves. And, as the world's largest jewellery brand, we value creativity, artistry, and craftsmanship - so we are thrilled to partner with the BFC on TFA 2024 to spotlight excellence within the creative, fashion and entertainment industry.”
