Kim Jones as Designer of the Year, performances by icons like Kylie Minogue, and a room full of fashion&rsquo;s best-dressed guests. It&rsquo;s safe to say that this year&rsquo;s Fashion Awards were as eventful as ever.

A room full of fashion&rsquo;s brightest minds and muses and what do you get? One hell of an eventful Fashion Awards ceremony. Held at the Royal Albert Hall in London and presented by TikTok UK, the event saw some iconic moments being made throughout the night &ndash;&nbsp;the most notable being Kim Jones winning Designer of the Year for Dior Men and Fendi, Nensi Dojaka for the BFC Foundation Award for emerging talent, and more.&nbsp;
Read on as we bring you through some key highlights of the night.

Kim Jones wins Designer of the Year

Known for being a pioneer in menswear and a master collaborator in the industry (more recently for Fendi x Skims), the designer finally got his much-deserved recognition at the Fashion Awards 2021, bringing home the Designer of the Year award at the end of the night.&nbsp;
Deemed the most important award of the night, it honours &ldquo;a British or international designer whose innovative collections have made a notable impact on the industry, defining the shape of global fashion.&rdquo; The award was presented to Jones by actress Demi Moore and Olympian diver Tom Daley.
Designers and creative directors like Balenciaga&rsquo;s Demna Gvasalia, Gucci&rsquo;s Alessandro Michele, Tommy Hilfiger, Nensi Dojaka, and Simone Rocha also won big at the awards in other categories.

The Industry Honours Virgil Abloh's Legacy

Only a few days after his shocking passing, the industry honoured the late designer Virgil Abloh and his legacy with a special in memoriam segment in a space surrounded by his beloved friends, collaborators, and fans. During the proceedings, actor Idris Elba did a beautiful reading of Maya Angelou&rsquo;s poem &ldquo;When Great Trees Fall&rdquo;, followed by heartfelt testimonies from Kim Jones, Tommy Hilfiger, Tan France, and more. The designer was also among the 15 creatives who won the Leaders of Change award for their positive change within the fashion industry in the categories &ndash; Environment, People and Creativity.

Performances by Kylie Minogue, Charli XCX, and Lil Buck

An event is not made spectacular without the help of entertainment&rsquo;s greatest icons. The Fashion Awards saw performances by pop icons Kylie Minogue and Charli XCX, as well as up and coming artists like Lil Buck.
The &lsquo;Can&rsquo;t Get You Out of my Head&rsquo; star and fashion icon also took to Instagram to round up her night, &ldquo;Thanks for having me, British Fashion Council. A celebratory, glamorous, heartfelt and poignant occasion. Many thanks to my entire creative and production team for bringing this vision to the stage. Love you all!!!&rdquo;

And of course, the Fashion Awards saw an array of well-dressed celebrities, designers, and influencers gracing the red carpet. Dua Lipa in Tiffany &amp; Co jewellery, Kim Jones, Demi Moore, and Lily Allen in Fendi, Tom Daley in Christian Dior, and more.
