www.images-magazine.com OCTOBER 2021 images 25 INDUSTRY NEWS Embroiderer wins British Fashion Council prize Andrew Kenny, owner of The London Embroidery Studio, has been announced as one of the winners of the inaugural BFC Changemakers Prize. Organised by the British Fashion Council in partnership with the jewellery brand Swarovski, the initiative aims to “discover and celebrate the fashion industry’s unsung stars who go above and beyond to strive for positive change, make outstanding contributions and inspire others on their journey”. Andrew won the prize in the category of ‘Community & Craftsmanship’ because of the work at his studio in east London where he and his team use traditional skills to generate new and exciting techniques with industrial embroidery machines. Andrew said: “Winning this prize means so much for me and my team. Being recognised by such a hallowed institution as the British Fashion Council for the work that we do is a real honour – and one that we craftspeople, working behind the scenes in fashion, rarely receive. This makes it all the more special.” The London Embroidery Studio has been creating bespoke embroidery from its east London base since 2007, offering production and consultancy services alongside classes and research. imagesmag.uk/bfc-kenny DTFTRANSFER.CO.UK TRADE PRICES GET A QUOTE OR ORDER ONLINE TODAY DELIVERY CHARGE £5.00* TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!
