This awards season, London College of Fashion, UAL prepared a style guide for the BAFTA awards 2020 to distribute to all attendees. Exploring fashion and sustainability, BAFTA encouraged all guests to opt for more sustainable fashion choices by re-wearing, renting or wearing sustainable materials. Many guests appeared to adhere to the dress code, with The Duke of Cambridge re-wearing a tux and the Duchess of Cambridge re-wearing an Alexander McQueen dress that she had previously worn in 2012.
“The most sustainable garment is the one we already own.” Orsola de Castro; co-founder of Fashion Revolution.
The guide highlights tips on how to dress sustainably for the red carpet, listing brands, designers and re-sell websites including Bethany Williams, Nu Wardrobe and many more. The guide was well received by BAFTA guests and press, with coverage featured in Independent, Vogue, Elle, The Telegraph, Hello Magazine and many more.
