Vintage Vibes and Green Glam: The Fashion Awards
My Stylish Soirée at The Fashion Awards 2019
Attending The Fashion Awards 2019 at the Royal Albert Hall was an affair to remember—a night where high fashion met a dash of eco-consciousness, because apparently, saving the planet is the new black. The historic venue, resplendent in its grandeur, set the stage for an evening that celebrated the crème de la crème of the fashion world, all while nodding vigorously towards sustainability.
In a bid to outdo my fellow attendees in the sustainability stakes, I opted for a breathtaking dress rented from a vintage store in Notting Hill. Not only did this choice scream "I care about the environment," but it also gave me plenty of opportunities to wax lyrical about the virtues of vintage fashion to anyone within earshot. The dress, with its timeless elegance, ensured I was both a beacon of style and a paragon of virtue.
The Fashion Awards 2019 were all about celebrating the trailblazers of sustainable fashion. The event was a veritable who’s who of creativity and innovation, honoring designers, models, and brands making significant strides in reducing the fashion industry's environmental footprint. Naomi Campbell, for instance, was honored with the Fashion Icon award for her long-standing contributions to the industry, including her efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity. Because, let’s face it, being a supermodel isn't quite enough these days.
The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as the awards ceremony progressed, celebrating the year's most notable achievements and the individuals driving positive change. Bottega Veneta emerged as the darling of the night, scooping up multiple awards, while Rihanna's Fenty was recognized for its Urban Luxe appeal—further proof that sustainable fashion can indeed be synonymous with luxury.
As the night unfolded, I reveled in the chance to mingle with industry leaders, share insights, and forge new connections. The evening was a perfect blend of elegance and environmental consciousness, underscoring a vital message: the future of fashion is not just about looking good but also about doing good. This glamorous event made it abundantly clear that sustainability is at the heart of fashion’s future, making it a night to remember for all who attended. And if it also meant I got to feel a bit superior in my rented vintage dress, well, that was just a delightful bonus.
