Steven Stokey-Daley has won the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design for his brand S.S. Daley.
The London-based designer received the 7th iteration of the award from The British Fashion Council a day before his show at London Fashion Week.
Since founding his label in 2020, S. S. Daley designs have caught the eye of fashion insiders (winning 2022′s LVMH Prize and being invited as a guest designer to Pitti Uomo in 2023) and British celebrities alike. Earlier this year, Harry Styles invested a minority stake in the label.
Stokey-Daley draws inspiration from his childhood in Liverpool, incorporating designs like horse races, geese and florals reminiscent of the British countryside that have become the label’s signatures.
The Queen Elizabeth II Award recognises budding designers who engage in sustainable practices or community engagement. S.S. Daley garments are handmade in the UK, using deadstock materials and salvaged fabrics.
