Established in 2008, the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund aims to celebrate exceptional talent and empower businesses to play their part in positive growth through bespoke mentoring and awarding of a cash prize. The fund is open to all gender collections and/or accessories.

The BFC recognises the value of positive growth, talent and excellence in design. Part of the vision around how to reset the industry includes understanding the breadth of fashion business models, with this in mind the criteria for this fund has been updated to reflect excellence in talent and positive development within businesses.

You can find out more information about the updated criteria and a link to the application form here.

Since its inception, winners of The Fund include Erdem (2010), Christopher Kane (2011), Jonathan Saunders (2012), Nicholas Kirkwood (2013), Peter Pilotto (2014), Mary Katrantzou (2015), Sophia Webster (2016), Mother of Pearl & palmer//harding (2017), Molly Goddard (2018) and WALES BONNER (2019).

In 2020 at the onset of the COVID Crisis the decision was taken to pool the BFC talent support grants that would have traditionally been awarded for either early stage showcasing support or business growth and promotion. The BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund had already completed the judging process,and it was decided that the cash prize and mentoring award would be split across each of the six shortlisted brands for the very first time. The recipients were Alighieri, Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY, David Koma, Halpern, Metier and Rejina Pyo.
