Christopher Bailey贏得CFDA大獎

British designer Christopher Bailey, the chief creative officer of Burberry, was honoured with the prestigious International Award, at the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) gala, in New York, last night (June 7th, 2010).

The award was presented by Donna Karan, the American designer who hand-picked Bailey to work in her studio following his Royal College of Art graduation show, in 1994



The CFDA awards gala is an annual event, similar to the British Fashion Awards, which recognises top creative talent and those who have made a profound impact on the fashion industry.

As Chief Creative Officer of Burberry, Christopher Bailey, 38, is responsible for the design of all Burberry collections and products, as well as all advertising, corporate art direction, architectural design, multi-media content and overall brand image for the heritage brand. Bailey, from Yorkshire, is a two-times winner of the British Fashion Designer of the Year title, having most recently won fashion’s equivalent of an ‘Oscar’ in 2009.

The presentation of Burberry’s “flagship” ‘Prorsum’ collection, designed by Bailey, has been the star attraction of London Fashion Week for the past two seasons, drawing a fashion and Hollywood ‘A’ list of front row celebrities including Anna Wintour, Samantha Cameron, Kate Hudson, Mary-Kate Olsen, Claire Danes and Kristen Stewart.

Burberry, which was founded in 1856 and is a member of the FTSE100, is headquartered in London.
