British Fashion Awards (Drumroll Please...)

Surprise! Stella McCartney has been named Designer of the Year for 2007 by The British Fashion Council.

The Fashion Creator award, re-named to honor the late Isabella Blow, went to Michael Howells. Dame Vivienne Westwood received the Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design award.

The New Designer of the Year award went to Scottish (shout-out to our skirted bretheren!) designer Christopher Kane. Marc Jacobs received the Retail Concept award for his London store.

The Red Carpet Designer award went to the Marchesa label and Christopher Bailey for Burberry received the Menswear Designer award.

Model of the Year award went to Agyness Deyn (pictured above). Agyness is definitely not Media Whore material, UNLESS she turns out to be a man, which the Tea Room bets any amount of money 'she' is.

Red Carpet at Swarovski Fashion Rocks

SWAROVSKI FASHION ROCKS

London's Swarovski Fashion Rocks charity had Media Whore Kate Moss wore a 1920s beaded dress with 20,000 Swarovski crystals, a copy of what she wore on her first date with Johnny Depp in 1994 and to be auctioned on eBay tp benefit The Prince's Trust.


Sparkle and see through for our favorite MeHos! Uma Thurman wore an almost see-through black lace dress by Valentino, Claudia Schiffer in a sheer black blouse, Naomi Campbell in a sheer Dolce & Gabbana and Lily Allen in a sheer blue Chanel.

Karne sparkle is obviously in on the trend as Alicia Keys and Lady Helen Taylor both wore beaded Armani, and Whitney Houston put down her crack pipe for a white beaded Valentino.
