Albus Lumen has won the BT Emerging Fashion Designer Award 2018.
Designer and founder Marina Afonina was announced as the winner at an award ceremony yesterday evening.
The award is a joint initiative between BT Financial Group and the Australian Fashion Council (AFC).
AFC board director and Harper's Bazaar editor-in-chief Kellie Hush praised the designer.
“Marina Afonina has an amazing fashion eye, as a stylist and fashion designer, so it’s not surprising that her fashion label Albus Lumen has won the 2018 BT Fashion Designer Award.
Albus Lumen is chic, timeless and delivers classic pieces, such as cigarette pants and cashmere sweaters, that every woman wants to wear season after season.”
Now in its sixth year, Afonina joins the ranks of Australian designers to take home the fashion design award.
Winners have included Kacey Devlin (2017), macgraw (2016), Emma Mulholland (2015), Michael Lo Sordo (2014) and Christopher Esber (2013).
