It was the second time that Piccioli had won the award. The designer, who is synonymous with the 'Pink PP' shade of color that has dominated red carpets, was presented with his award by the actor Florence Pugh, who wore a burgundy red backless Valentino gown with a gigantic train for the occasion.
Pierpaolo said on the red carpet that he wants to use his voice even for people who don't have a voice. The model of the year.
The runway star was unable to attend the event due to illness but still delivered a touching speech via video from her NYC apartment.
After Carlos Nazario accepted the award on her behalf, she paid homage to her heritage. She said in a pre-recorded video that there's a sort of work ethic that runs in her family's blood.
It isn't the best. It isn't to be better than other people. Our ancestors have never had an opportunity like this in their life. This is for the people of Palestine. The Dutch children need this. This is for any child.
Grace Wales Bonner was the winner of the award for her brand Wales Bonner.
The BFC Foundation Award was given to an emerging designer who has had a major impact on global fashion. The person is Rosaline Shahnavaz.
The winner of the BFC award, who spoke to ELLE UK backstage, described it as "Crazy".
He said it was amazing. I'm very proud. I'm happy. It's great to be celebrating British talent here with Mot & Chandon and it's even better to be celebrating London fashion.

Recognizing the next generation of fashion pioneers, the likes of Harris Reed and Sinéad Burke were honored for their efforts in their respective areas of creativity, environment, and people.
Reed told us how much the win meant to him after a year of career highs, which included being named creative director of Nina Ricci.
It means a lot because it feels like there is recognition for what I stand for, the voice that I have, and the voice that I hope to amplify for others. It doesn't feel real, but it is in his hands, he said.
How would he celebrate? A man is eating a burger while watching a show. It's a genius.
2 There is a tribute to the queen. The fashion industry paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II through a catwalk presentation titled 'the fashion salute show', which saw models wearing British brands such as Christopher Kane and Alexander McQueen.
