Stella McCartney 2007's 'Designer of the Year' at the British Fashion Awards

The annual British Fashion Awards named Stella McCartney as the Designer of the Year at the Westminster's Lawrence Hall London on November 27. She had bested two other nominees in her category, Luella Bartley and Anya Hindmarch to take the most sought after award, which acknowledges the leading British designer of couture, ready-to-wear, knitwear or accessories.
