As part of our new global format The Fashion Awards 2016 in partnership with Swarovski will be introducing The Swarovski Award for Positive Change in the forthcoming awards. The award recognises individuals who promote the welfare of others by the generous donation of their resources in order to achieve change and positive impact to good causes.

On 5 December at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia and L’Uomo Vogue, is to be honoured for her commitment to diversity and for utilising her position and influence to positively impact the wider world. She will be recognised at the ceremony in part for her commitment to her role as Global Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme, her work with Convivio in the fight to eradicate AIDS and the work she does with the European Institute of Oncology towards prevention and diagnosis of oncological diseases.
