Insignia had the pleasure of being invited to The Fashion Awards 2016 in partnership with Swarovski last night. Formerly known as the British Fashion Awards, the event dropped the “British” to recognise the whole industry. The evening of December 5, 2016 saw 4,000 members of the fashion industry elite and public gathered at Royal Albert Hall for this extravagant event. Everyone who’s anyone in fashion was there including muses, designers, business leaders, influencers and the icons that inspire them.
