The British Fashion Council‘s 2015 International Designer Award will be presented to Alessandro Michele, in recognition of the year’s remarkable achievements in his role as Creative Director at Gucci.

Taking the reins as Creative Director back in January 2015, his appointment marked a brave and significant shift in aesthetics for Gucci – a house famed for its leather goods and accessories; a powerhouse that currently ranks No.2 in the global luxury goods market. The appointment was a considered one, and in the nine short months since Alessandro took up his new role, he has presented four collections that have caught the attention of the industry and consumers alike, and have set the fashion agenda, confirming Gucci’s position as a truly directional fashion house.
