The British Fashion Council honours Anok Yai for her global influence and creative impact.

Anok Yai will receive the “Model of the Year” title at The Fashion Awards 2025 presented by Pandora, which will take place on Monday, December 1st at London’s Royal Albert Hall, according to an exciting statement made by The British Fashion Council. The event honours the cultural influence of fashion and the trailblazers reshaping the sector while also raising essential funding for the BFC Foundation.

Anok, who was raised in America after being born in Egypt to South Sudanese parents, has emerged as a key figure in contemporary fashion. She has been the face of Mugler’s Alien fragrance, been on the cover of Vogue France, and fronted campaigns for Versace, Alaïa, and Saint Laurent throughout the past year. She has ventured into the field of creative directing in addition to modelling. There is no one more deserving of this than her, since her vision, craftsmanship, and representation never cease to inspire.
