All hail Anna Wintour! The BFC has announced that the editor of US Vogue, avec her iconic bob, will be picking up the Outstanding Achievement Award at the 2014 British Fashion Awards. Wintour, who is also the Artistic Director of Condé Nast, is one of Britain's most successful exports so it's only fitting that she'll be honoured during the swanky ceremony which takes place at the London Coliseum in December.

The fash-pack are certainly full of praise for Lady Wintour with Christopher Bailey, Burberry's Chief Creative and Chief Executive Officer, saying: 'Anna gives an extraordinary amount of her time nurturing and supporting creative talent around the world whether they are emerging or established names, part of fashion, literature, theatre, film, politics, sport or philanthropy. Her contribution to all of our global industries is a testament to both her passion, and her innate generosity.'
