Emerging British fashion designer Priya Ahluwalia, whose work is setting a new standard for ethical fashion design, has won the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design.
Ahluwalia launched her namesake brand in 2018, having first attracted industry attention for her photobook "Sweet Lassi."
The book, released alongside a graduate collection for her masters degree in menswear, chronicled the designer's eye-opening trips to Nigeria and India, where she witnessed the scale of the second-hand garment industry and the volume of waste clothing generated by consumers.
