London Fashion Design Awards

Recognising excellence in fashion design across apparel, wearable design, accessories, textiles, lifestyle fashion, and sustainable innovation.


The London Fashion Design Awards celebrates the boldest and most innovative fashion statements shaping global style today. This category recognises designers who push creative boundaries through craftsmanship, originality, and cultural influence — from ready-to-wear and haute couture to avant-garde collections and sustainable fashion lines. It honours fashion that speaks to identity, impact, and the evolution of design.


As part of the London Design Awards, this category invites submissions from fashion designers, design houses, emerging labels, independent creators, and fashion studios worldwide. Whether you’re redefining runway trends, championing ethical fashion, or creating wearable art, the London Fashion Design Awards offers a prestigious platform to showcase your vision to a global audience.


Submit your fashion collection or design and demonstrate how your work drives innovation, expression, and excellence in the world of fashion.

Deadlines & Fees

All designers are eligible to submit work in-progress, complete or conceptual designs. Winners are determined by one entry, and not an entire body of work, so careful selection should be observed.

The London Design Awards makes every effort to keep entry costs affordable. Rather than charging it per entry, an annual administrative fee is charged to cover costs like printing, mailing and data organisation. For this reason, each participant is charged a flat $30 annual administrative fee. When all participants pay the same low fee, those submitting more than one entry will benefit more.
