Meadham Kirchhoff's fashion stock rises further

Not really one to blog about awards and ceremonies - as I think so many other people do it much, much better - I thought it’d be worth mentioning that supreme womenswear design duo Meadham Kirchhoff were awarded the ‘Next Young Designer’ accolade at Tuesday night’s Elle Style Awards 2011. Having recently won the award for 'Emerging Talent' at The British Fashion Awards 2010,
English born Edward Meadham and French born Benjamin Kirchhoff are fast becoming the darlings of British fashion, and with Fashion Forward sponsorship for their catwalk shows this month and in September their fashion stock is firmly on the rise.

I'm particularly happy that Phoebe Philo won designer of the year for Celine as she is one of my favourite designers whom I've loved since she worked under Stella McCartney at Chloe in the late '90s. Also pleased to see Formichetti pick up a gong.
