Grace Wales Bonner, a renowned fashion designer, deservedly received the British Fashion Council/GQ Fund. Bonner creates pieces that "propose a distinct notion of cultural luxury that infuses European heritage with an Afro Atlantic spirit."
The coveted award includes a cash prize of £100,000 (about $124,000 USD) plus a year of professional mentoring. As Bonner established herself, she attracted the interest of big-name companies like adidas and celebrities (Kendrick screamed her out in a recent song). Bonner's brand has become something of a cult favorite. The must-have item of the moment is undoubtedly a pair of Bonner's Sambas. See for yourself and check out her work below.
