Last night at The Fashion Awards, amidst the buzz of Rihanna, Anna Wintour, Tom Ford, and A$AP Rocky, the true highlight for me was seeing Priya Ahluwalia win the New Establishment Menswear Award.


Having taught Priya during her time on the MA Menswear course in 2016, it's been incredible to witness the growth of her brand over the years—especially during such challenging times for the fashion industry.


Presented by Tems and Wretch 32, the award celebrates a menswear designer who is shaping a new movement in British fashion and leaving a global impact. Huge congratulations to Priya on this well-deserved recognition!
