Little Simz to be honoured as Cultural Innovator at The Fashion Awards 2025
The British Fashion Council has announced that British rapper and actress Little Simz will be honoured as a Cultural Innovator at The Fashion Awards 2025, taking place on 1 December at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The Cultural Innovator Award, presented by Pandora, celebrates a leading innovator and imagemaker in the entertainment industry, “who over the course of the year has had a profound impact on the fashion industry and wider culture”.
Little Simz has graced the covers of British Vogue, Elle, Dazed and The Face, and is a multi-award winning artist, holding BRIT, Mercury Prize, MOBO and Ivor Novello awards. She has recently completed an international tour for her latest studio album, ‘Lotus’, which debuted in the UK top three earlier this year.
Also this year, Little Simz became the youngest curator of the Southbank Centre’s Meltdown Festival, following in the footsteps of the likes of David Bowie, Grace Jones and Nile Rodgers.
She also played a starring role in the film ‘Steve’ alongside Cillian Murphy. That followed her acting debut in the Netflix series, ‘Top Boy’.
Laura Weir, Chief Executive of the British Fashion Council, said: “Little Simz is a generational voice whose work expands culture itself. She is fearless in her creativity, uncompromising in her honesty and endlessly inventive in the way she brings music, fashion and storytelling together.
“She reshapes the landscape rather than simply moving within it, setting new standards for what British artistry can be.”
