When Stephen Jones was inducted into the Power 25 list announced during the 2009 British Fashion Awards, along with other great names in the fashion world such as Guido Palau, Erin O’Connor, David Bailey, Mandi Lennard, Naomi Campbell, Sir Stuart Rose, and Sir Paul Smith, people around the world knows exactly what the list means. It is not just a commemorative list of fashion people; it is a list constructed through careful judgments and considerations. You will not see any well-known fashion journalists and editors on the list because the media also cast votes on people that is now on that list.
Stephen Jones is an interesting name indeed. Since he won the BFC Award for Outstanding Achievement Award in Fashion Design 2008, his outstanding career in fashion has skyrocketed even further. If you attended the 2009 British Fashion Awards, you will notice his ‘Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones’ presentation during the show.
Other than Stephen Jones, another great yet young fashion name also on the Power 25 list is the Chief Creative Officer of Burberry, Christopher Bailey. Christophe Bailey had an exceptional career in fashion for sure, and he is known to be a truly gifted fashion designers. You can catch his latest winter line of Burberry introduced earlier this year and understand exactly what I’m talking about. These two names, along with other 23 names on the Power 25 list, are definitely the most influential people in British and world fashion that will be remembered for their great contributions to the fashion scenes across the globe.
