British Fashion Awards 2012 Nominees Announced

Alexa Chung: Despite winning British Fashion Style Icon Of The Year Award two years in a row, Alexa has some stiff competition this year. However, her newly created role as ambassador for the British Fashion Council may help things along. “I plan to wear lots of British clothes abroad!” said Chung of the appointment. “I am really happy to be doing it. I used to dream I could go to fashion shows and now I’m living that dream. I love Christopher Kane and Mary Katrantzou and Erdem. London Fashion Week is really dynamic these days.”
