Following widespread acclaim for her Spring Summer 2014 collection launch, Roksanda Ilincic has joined Alex Box, Creative Director for cult make-up brand Illamasqua and a host of other winners in being recognised at the Dulux Let's Colour Awards. Presented last night at the Old Truman Brewery, east London and hosted by esteemed fashion commentator Hilary Alexander, the awards acknowledged the most bold, brilliant and innovative uses of colour across the creative industries and beyond.
Roksanda Ilincic picked up the Best use of Colour in Fashion and Beauty award for her Spring Summer 2014 collection that effortlessly blurred the lines between day and eveningwear, featuring bright neon hues and displaying a refreshing flair for bold injections of colour
Alex Box, a trailblazer in the field of experimental beauty, was announced as this year's Colour Ambassador - the ultimate 'colour hero' who not only champions bold and brilliant use of colour through their work but also inspires us with their own colourful style.
Nominated by fashion consultant and judge, Angie Smith, Alex's evident love of colour and her use of make-up as a medium for personal expression made her a very worthy winner on the night.
Marianne Shillingford, Dulux Creative Director, says of this year's event: "The Dulux Let's Colour Awards certainly picked up where last year left off with some truly stunning winners being celebrated.
This year, once again, we have been amazed at the inspirational talent from the worlds of fashion, beauty, interiors and beyond who delight us with their bold and beautiful creations and give us all the confidence to embrace colour and use it to make a difference to our lives. To spend an evening celebrating their achievements has been an honour."
In a year which saw so many 'once in a lifetime' events and revolutionary new innovations launched, the awards also honoured English National Opera, Michael Craig-Martin, IVANKA and Curiousa & Curiousa.
