LONDON, United Kingdom — They came from six continents and more than 20 countries, representing every slice of the global fashion industry. Twenty-two designers, seven esteemed fashion writers, eight top executives, eight Internet entrepreneurs, five top models, four educators from top fashion schools, three power publicists, two streetwear moguls and more, gathered together in one room at the London Edition to celebrate their collective contributions to fashion in 2015, creating a special energy that only the fashion industry can generate.

Many of you have commented to me recently that BoF is going from strength to strength, what with the new additions to our growing platform, such as BoF Fashion Week and BoF Education. But none of this would be possible without the support and encouragement of the talented community that came to celebrate with us from all corners of the globe, or without the amazing and hard-working BoF team, now spread across London, New York and Shanghai. They are the ones that make all of the magic happen, and I am so grateful to them for their commitment to BoF.

Please watch the video above to get a feel for what was a very special evening, and stay tuned for even more new developments from BoF in the coming months. We are only just getting started.
