British Fashion Awards 2007

Stella McCartney threw off stiff competition from Anya Hindmarch and Luella Bartley to be crowned the Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards 2007 last night. The heavily pregnant star emotionally dedicated her award to her parents and the team behind her.

"My team really deserve this. I couldn't possibly manage with three children under the age of three without them."

Agyness Deyn was also the star of the show by winning the Model of the Year award ahead of red-head Lily Cole and fellow model Irina Lazareanu. Wearing a long, black Giles dress, the queen of cool spoke to her mum on the phone as she collected her award on stage.

The show, hosted by Zoe Ball, saw Vivienne Westwood collect the most pretigious award of the evening - Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design. "I want to talk about more serious issues but this isn't the time," she said. "Fashion is a life-enhancing activity and I hope you continue to love it. And I've noticed over the last few years that people are really looking better. Everybody looks great tonight, so I'm pleased about that. On the other hand, in 100 years we're not even going to have enough oxygen to breathe – but I've written a manifesto about that which I hope will help. But now isn't the time."
