Canada’s Erdem wins for fourth straight year at British Fashion Awards
London-based Canadian label Erdem has won a fourth straight British Fashion Award.
Montreal-born designer Erdem Moralioglu was honoured with the establishment designer award on Monday at the annual event organized by the British Fashion Council.
The prize recognizes a ready-to-wear designer with a strong retail and e-commerce footprint who is also “a bastion of British fashion.”
Moralioglu was also in contention for the red carpet award, but lost to Tom Ford.
The Canadian has been on a winning streak at home and abroad.
He’s become a mainstay at the British Fashion Awards, where he nabbed womenswear designer of the year honours last year and the red carpet award in 2013.
In 2012, Moralioglu took home the new establishment award.
In January, he was named international Canadian designer of the year at the Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards in Toronto.
Moralioglu studied at the London-based Royal College of Art. After graduation, he moved to New York to work in the design studios of fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg before relocating to the U.K. to launch his eponymous label in 2005.
The ready-to-wear brand has become known for its richly coloured custom-designed prints and modern feminine creations.
