Nicholas Kirkwood Wins British Fashion Council/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund

In a first for an accessories designer, shoe maestro Nicholas Kirkwood has clinched the 2013 British Fashion Council/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund, the across-the-pond version of Anna Wintour and co.’s wildly successful initiative to boost young design talent. Now in its fourth year, the BFC/Vogue award provides the winner with £200,000 (at current exchange, about equal to the stateside $300,000 purse) and access to industry mentors. Also shortlisted for the award were Roksanda Ilincic, Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, and Emilia Wickstead.
