Angeli Jackson at the British Fashion Awards

The British Fashion Awards 2023 was a night to remember for SunSibility. Our founder, Angeli Jackson, attended this prestigious event, embodying the ethos of SunSibility – the seamless blend of fashion with sun protection and health awareness. 

The event took place in the historic and magnificent Royal Albert Hall in London, a venue that perfectly encapsulates the grandeur and spirit of the fashion world. The British Fashion Awards, known for celebrating the best in global fashion, brought together a diverse array of talents from across the globe. Designers, celebrities, influencers, and leaders in the fashion industry gathered to honour and acknowledge the extraordinary creativity and innovation that has shaped fashion over the past year.

For Angeli, attending the British Fashion Awards was not just about being part of a glamorous event; it was an opportunity to immerse herself in the heart of fashion. It was a chance to observe and learn from the best, to see firsthand the trends and movements shaping the industry, and to draw inspiration.

The event was also a moment of reflection for Angeli. Being amongst the most influential figures in fashion, she reminisced about her journey – from her days as a young graduate from The London College of Fashion to becoming a pioneer in integrating sun protection into stylish clothing. It was a reaffirmation of her belief that fashion and practicality could coexist, a principle that has always been at the core of SunSibility.

This year’s winners represent the pinnacle of creativity and the profound impact they have had globally. As SunSibility, we were not only attendees but keen observers, drawing inspiration and celebrating the achievements of those within the industry.

The winners of the 2023 Fashion Awards were a diverse and incredible group of individuals and brands, each contributing uniquely to the fashion landscape. From groundbreaking designers to visionary artists, the awards highlighted those who have pushed the boundaries of fashion, setting new standards of excellence.

One of the most prestigious awards of the night, the British Menswear Designer of the Year, was awarded to Martine Rose for her innovative and creative designs that have significantly shaped the international menswear scene. Similarly, the British Womenswear Designer of the Year was awarded to Maximilian Davis for Ferragamo, recognizing his influence in shaping the international womenswear landscape.

The New Establishment Awards in both menswear and womenswear categories were particularly inspiring. These awards recognized designers who have created a new movement in British fashion and made a sustained impact globally. Bianca Saunders, winning in the menswear category, and Chopova Lowena, in the womenswear category, were celebrated for their impressive collections, business growth, and international acclaim.

The Designer of the Year award was another highlight, going to Jonathan Anderson for JW Anderson & LOEWE. This award recognized a designer whose innovative collections have made a notable impact on the industry, defining the shape of global fashion.

Model of the Year was awarded to Paloma Elsesser, who, over the last 12 months, has dominated the industry with her global impact and significant contributions to the fashion world.

Special recognition awards were also given, including the Trailblazer Award to Edward Enninful OBE, celebrating the best innovators and creatives in fashion whose work has significantly shaped the industry in the past year.

For SunSibility and Angeli Jackson, witnessing these awards was not just about applauding the winners but also about understanding the evolving dynamics of fashion. It was a moment to appreciate the creativity, hard work, and dedication that drives the fashion industry forward.

A Note From Our Founder: Angeli Jackson

Reflecting on the British Fashion Awards, Angeli Jackson, our founder at SunSibility, shares her personal insights and experiences from the event. Her journey from a young graduate of The London College of Fashion to the helm of SunSibility is a story of passion, innovation, and dedication.

“Having graduated from The London College of Fashion and being the youngest on my course at just 21 in 2000, I began my journey into SunSibility after receiving a start-up loan from The Prince’s Trust. A chance meeting with an amazing photographer at the awards made me realise how long I’ve been in the business. He told me the year I graduated was the year he was born! It made me laugh and feel very old but proud that I have dedicated half my life to encouraging sun protection and making it the norm, crossing the barriers from medical over to beauty and fashion.

Now more than ever, we are aware of the effects of UV rays, but generally, self-care and being recognized for our style, practicality, and simply merging the lines between function and fashion is something that, at the time, my college told me was not commercially viable. I had a very different and forward-thinking idea and was determined there was a market for our products.

I have worked tirelessly, and it is true what Edward Enninful said in his acceptance speech for the Trailblazer Award, ‘Fear Nothing, Fear No-one, Believe in yourself and do things your way.’ I could identify so much with that sentiment… I cried… because I know the journey I have been on and it has had its many challenges. But for my customers, for those who are sun sensitive, all I ever wanted to do was find solutions, make life easier, and keep working for what I truly believed in. There is a need for what we do, and I wouldn’t and will never give up because I truly believe in achieving these goals. Who knows, maybe one day Angeli Jackson will get an award for recognition, one can only dream, but dreams do come true with hard work and persistence!

It was an amazing night celebrating those at the forefront of fashion today, inspiring and motivational. I just have to keep climbing because my motto in life has always been, ‘You can do anything you want to in life when you put your mind to it.’

Valentino’s iconic show in red was phenomenal, every design simply stunning. He knew women so well it gave me goosebumps, what an incredible talent and asset to the industry, understanding your customers’ wants and needs is paramount and fundamental.

I would like to thank The British Council for a fantastic and memorable evening and to all that were celebrated and the fantastic people attending the event, looking forward to next year already!”

Yours Sincerely,

Angeli Jackson
