Jonathan Anderson has been named Designer of the Year

Jonathan Anderson has been named Designer of the Year at the 2025 Fashion Awards — for the third consecutive year. A historic milestone, this win crowns his work at Dior, where he oversees both menswear and womenswear, as well as his signature label JW Anderson, recently transformed into a lifestyle brand centered on design and craft.

Anderson becomes the first designer ever to receive the top prize three years in a row. Reflecting on the achievement, he thanked the BFC “for leaving space for me and others to be whoever they want to be,” and expressed gratitude to Delphine Arnault for her support and belief “from the start.”

This year, Delphine Arnault, Chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, also received a Special Recognition Award for her exceptional contribution to global fashion and her long-standing commitment to nurturing emerging talent. Her leadership continues to shape the future of the industry, inspiring new generations of designers.
