Daniel Lee, former creative director at Bottega Veneta, set a new record by bagging four major awards at the Fashion Awards in 2019: Brand of the Year, Accessories Designer, British Women’s Wear Designer, and Designer of the Year. He was also nominated for this year’s Designer of the Year Award. Now that he’s no longer working for Bottega, it’s unclear whether he will attend this year’s event.

Gucci chief executive officer Marco Bizzarri, who has been credited for successfully reviving the brand alongside creative director Alessandro Michele, took home the business leader award three times in a row from 2016 to 2018. This year, though, it will be Michele who steps into the spotlight, receiving the Trailblazer Award.
The British Fashion Council noted that, in the past year, Michele has made strides: He presented Gucci’s Aria and Love Parade collections, launched Vault by Gucci, and opened the Gucci Garden Archetypes exhibit and the Gucci Archive in Florence. The BFC said he continues “to expand the scope of what a traditional luxury fashion brand should be.”

Loewe creative director and JW Anderson founder Jonathan Anderson has been a Fashion Awards darling since he won the Emerging Talent award for ready-to-wear back in 2012.
In 2017 and 2015, he took home major awards including Accessories Designer of the year and British Designer of the Year, Women’s Wear. This year, he is nominated for the Designer of the Year award.
