The nominees for the 2016 Fashion Awards, previously known as the British Fashion Awards, are officially here. From emerging designers like Alessandra Rich and It models of the moment like Gigi and Bella to fashion veterans like Vivienne Westwood, this year's list features a wide variety of names.

In an effort to rebrand itself on a more global scale, this year's awards include more international names as well as a new category, best "Urban Luxury Brand," for which brands like Vetements, Off-White and Adidas are nominated. While a majority of the nominees are still British-based, designers like Gucci's Alessandro Michele, Coach's Stuart Vevers and Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci are also contenders for prizes.

This year's most interesting category this year is perhaps International Model of the Year, which sees sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid competing against each other-as well as BFF Kendall Jenner, Lineisy Montero and Adwoa Aboah. Both the Hadids and Jenner have had a huge year in the fashion world-but who will come out on top?
