Last night the British Fashion Council handed out its annual awards. And Agyness Deyn didn’t make the cut. Believe it. Perhaps the Brits don’t like that she’s living in Williamsburg? Eighteen-year-old Jourdan Dunn won Model of the Year, beating out Agyness (who won last year) and Lily Donaldson. Luella Bartley won Designer of the Year, which was perhaps not only a nod to her design skills but also a show of appreciation for moving her show back to London from New York for the spring 2009 season. Milliner Stephen Jones won for Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design. And Burberry’s Christopher Bailey won Menswear Designer of the Year for the second year in a row, a rare occurrence for the BFAs. Click through for a full list of winners.
