At a special industry showcase event hosted by the British Fashion Council (BFC), King Charles presented LABRUM London with Queen Elizabeth II Award for British design.

First presented by Queen Elizabeth II at London Fashion Week in 2018, the award was initiated in recognition of the role played by British design and fashion in the country’s culture and trade.

The King was joined at the event by leading figures in the fashion industry, as well as those championing sustainable fashion.

The King presented the 2023 award to LABRUM London, founded by Foday Dumbuya.

LABRUM is inspired by Foday’s formative years learning and growing up in Sierra Leone, Cyprus and London.

Following the presentation, the King watched an immersive performance created by the winner of the award.

Before departing, he also visited award winner’s design studio to see where their work comes to life.
