Last night saw the mass gathering of the sartorially sublime and style savvy at London’s Savoy hotel for the 2012 British Fashion Awards.

Mrs Motilo, Sofia Barattieri and her partner Anna Machevitch were there in attendance with everyone’s favourite Mr Jonathan Saunders, sitting on a table heavy (figuratively of course) with the industry’s most beautiful and influential.

Amongst the fashionable fray in attendance were key personalities such as Laura Bailey, Harold Tillman CBE, Sarah Burton, Valentino and Christopher Kane. The evenings proceedings were hosted by Nick Grimshaw and the ever stunning Gemma Arterton, who is fast becoming a front row regular.

Whilst everyone is eager to know who won what and who didn’t, Motilo have come up with a few awards of our own which we think deserve just as much attention. Prom King and Queen must undoubtedly go to the ever content Stella McCartney and Alasdhair Willis, whilst Person We’d Most Like To Follow Down a Yellowbrick Road would have to be goldilocked fairytale princess Laura Bailey.

Pixie Geldof gave us a hefty dose of Dress Envy with her bold Jonathan Saunders Resort 2013, whilst Gemma Arterton scooped the acclaim for best Style Juxtaposition with her sexy accountant jumpsuit meets Barbarella on a hen night holographic heels. The Person We’d Most Like To Spend New Years Eve With is undoubtedly the mischievous Cara Delevingne – you just know you’d end up with one shoe missing, in a different postcode and with enough stories to last you a full twelve months.
