The award, for services to the British Fashion Industry, also recognises the considerable contribution that Amanda Wakeley makes as founding co-Chair of Fashion Targets Breast Cancer (FTBC), a charity which has raised over £10m to raise awareness and fund research into Breast Cancer since the charity’s inception in 1996. Amanda and 24 other high profile women (The Booby Birds) will raise a further £500,000 when they complete a free-fall parachute jump in aid of the charity on 22nd May 2010.
Amanda Wakeley said: “I am extremely humbled by this honour. It is also recognition for the talented and committed teams that I am proud and fortunate to work with in my own business and at FTBC. It is an incredible way to complete an extraordinary year.”
Amanda Wakeley (amandawakeley.com) launched her signature label in 1990 and over the last two decades has developed an international reputation for designing stylish, supremely luxurious, womenswear and accessories.
Amanda intuitively started designing clothes based on a personal passion to create utterly beautiful clothes that women love to wear. Her look is calculatedly understated but alluring.
The Amanda Wakeley woman is ageless – she has an attitude to dressing rather than being a specific age. She wears the clothes because they are body enhancing yet comfortable, they are relevant yet appropriate to her lifestyle.
Amanda Wakeley is the winner of several awards including three British Fashion Awards for Glamour.
In April 2009, Amanda completed the buy-back of her business, saving over 50 jobs across the United Kingdom. Since then she has relaunched her brand, opened a new Flagship Store and achieved critical acclaim when she returned to London Fashion Week September 2009.
