The British Fashion Awards 2012

Last weekend’s glamourous British Fashion Awards, at The Savoy Hotel, was a STELLAr evening all round… Stella McCartney (above) not only won Designer AND Brand of the Year, but a many of the most stylish guests (including Salma Hayek and Rita Ora) also wore her designs on the night.  My favourite fashionista Alexa Chung once again won the British Style Award (voted for by her adoring public for the third year running!) and Cara Delevigne (left, wearing a green metallic Burberry Prorsum SS’13 minidress), won Model of the Year – thoroughly deserved following her recent marathon Fashion Month.  Harold Tillman - who steps down from his role as British Fashion Council chairman in January – received the Special Recognition.

La Belle de Jour - Caroline Sieber in Paris

Vienna raised/London based super stylist Caroline Sieber, stepped out to watch the Chloé fall 2012 runway show ten days ago during Paris Fashion Week in this more than gorgeous ensemble.  

Wearing the enviable collection of a navy Pringle of Scotland sweater over her sugar pink Chloé dress, a Maison Michel hat, a Christopher Kane clutch and a pair of (I would sell my own Granny to own) Louis Vuitton bowed heels, Caroline looked the epitome of simple Spring elegance.

As one of only five brand ambassadors for Chanel, Caroline Sieber frequently tops all the most prostegious ‘Best Dressed’ lists, alongside her famous clients.  Caroline lists Balenciaga, Balmain, Yves Saint Laurent, Charles Anastase, Burberry Prorsum, and of course Chanel, as her favorite designers and brands. New Style Crush.
