Gabriel Moses will take the stage for his acceptance of the Trailblazer Award at this year’s Fashion Awards.
According to the British Fashion Council, the award recognizes the British-Nigerian photographer and filmmaker for having a “defining impact across fashion, music and design,” for his emotionally-driven contemporary images.
Moses’ first job was directing a Nike campaign at 18 and the image maker would later become the youngest photographer ever to shoot a Dazed cover, photographing Pa Salieu in 2020.
Moses’ range of collaborations include Louis Vuitton, Dior, Burberry, and Moncler, along with portraits of Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Lauryn Hill, Grace Jones, Cher, and Travis Scott.
In 2024, Moses released his first monograph, Regina, and one year later, he designed the 2025 BRIT Awards trophy, inspired by sculptures his mother kept around the house when he was growing up.
BFC chief executive Laura Weir praised the singular look and feel of his work:
“Gabriel is one of those rare creative talents whose work has an unmistakable visual language and emotional resonance,” Weir stated. “Across fashion, music, film and art, he has helped shape contemporary visual culture, while opening up new perspectives and inspiring a generation of creatives. We’re delighted to celebrate Gabriel at The Fashion Awards this year and recognise the extraordinary contribution he continues to make to British and global creative culture.”
“It’s a blessing to receive such a prestigious award, I’ve put a lot of heart into my practice from the moment I started and moments like this are a testament to honest work. I’m grateful to the long list of collaborators who have trusted my ideas,” Moses added.
Moses will accept the honor at The Fashion Awards ceremony on Monday, Nov. 30, at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
