The nominations have been announced for the 2016 Fashion Awards, in association with Swarovski. Earlier in the year, 1500 key members of the fashion industry were invited to put forward their preferences for each category. The voting body represents 41 countries across media, retail, communications and creative disciplines such as photography, art direction, set design and production. Nominations were made in nine categories with the five brands/individuals receiving the most nominations shortlisted in each category. The winners will be announced at a gala ceremony held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 5 December.
