STELLA MCCARTNEY, Christopher Kane and Mary Katrantzou will be fighting it out for the Designer of the Year accolade at the 2012 British Fashion Awards. This marks the second consecutive year that Kane is up for the honour, while Katrantzou makes the great leap from being nominated in the Emerging Talent category last year.
McCartney is the name best poised to sweep the board at this year's ceremony, having been nominated in a total of three categories. Alongside her Designer of the Year nod, she's also up for Designer Brand of the Year - opposite heavyweights Alexander McQueen, Burberry and Mulberry - and the Red Carpet award; for which she'll do battle against Victoria Beckham, Roksanda Ilincic and Alessandra Rich.
This year's Emerging Talent nominees see J.W. Anderson, Michael van der Ham and Simone Rocha nominated, while David Gandy goes up against Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn in the Model of the Year category.
"2011 has been a momentous year and seen a nationwide celebration of British talent," said Harold Tillman, chairman of the British Fashion Council. "The British Fashion Awards recognise and celebrate the exceptional individuals and brands who've defined our fashion industry over the past year and we're incredibly proud to announce these nominees who represent a cross section of British fashion talent."
As with previous years, the British Style Award is the only category which is decided on by a public vote. The accolade, which was won by Alexa Chung in 2010 and 2011, is awarded in recognition of "an individual who most embodies the spirit of London" and acts as an international ambassador for the British industry. This year's list of nominees includes Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Victoria Beckham, Florence Welch, the Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Cast your vote now at BRITISHFASHIONAWARDS.COM - the poll is open until October 31. Those who vote will be automatically entered into a prize draw, with the chance of winning two tickets to the awards ceremony in London.
All the winners will be announced live at this year's British Fashion Awards on November 27.
