Each holiday “trophy” is made of a Swarovski crystal cylinder, inside of which there is a color rod. “The palette is diverse and speaks about the individuality of each of the winners of 2017,” says Pouson. - I wanted to create something that boils down to an elementary form, in this case to a cylinder — something that you would have liked to hold in your hands. The crystal cylinder is made with a beveled top in the form of a lens. ”

BFC and Swarovski attract world design star to work on the award for the second time: in 2016, the prize was designed by Mark Newson.

In addition to the design of boutiques, including London's Shristopher Kane, and youthful assistance in the father's store ready-made dresses, Pouson for the first time so closely in touch with the fashion industry. Born in Yorkshire in 1949, John Pawson founded his own architecture firm in 1981. He studied architecture, but did not get a diploma, so in the UK he was not officially recognized as an architect.

Each crystal reward with a height of 24 cm and a diameter of 6 cm weighs about 1.5 kg.

The solemn award ceremony at the British Fashion Awards will be held on December 4, 2017 at the Royal Albert Hall. The winners include Christopher Kane, Balenciaga Creative Director Demna Gvasalia and Burberry Creative Director Christopher Bailey, who recently announced that he was leaving the company.
