Fact 4: She's Impressive As Hell


Being the first individual female and first menswear designer to win the LVMH award is a big deal, but by no means the first accomplishment for Grace Wales Bonner. Her graduate collection for Central Saint Martins in 2014, called Afrique, won the L'OrĂ©al Professional Talent Award. Her dissertation "Black on Black" was personally commended by the Dean of Central Saint Martins as well. After debuting Ebonics A/W 15 with Fashion East at London Collections: Mens (which received critical acclaim), she was invited to the V&A's prestigious Fashion in Motion program. In 2015 she received the Emerging Menswear Designer award at the British Fashion Awards. Did we mention she's done all this, and she's only 25?
