In just a few hours, the ACE Awards presented by the Accessories Council will take place, with honorees including Burberry, Hal Rubenstein, Diane von Furstenberg, Lady Gaga, Gilt Group, V Magazine, and Barbie.
Burberry is being honored with the Brand of the Year Award, and they have a very special model guest accepting the award on its behalf: Agyness Deyn! Given her experience with the design house—as a model for the brand, muse for Christopher Bailey, face of its fragrance the Beat, and consistent model for runway shows—it’s a perfect match.
It’s been a huge year for the brand, as they celebrated the lighting of their New York sign, along with models, Hilary Rhoda, Lily Donaldson, Julie Henderson, and Helena Christensen, and DJ Alexa Chung. And now they’ll top it all off with this award and a brilliant model to accept it!
