Gabriel Moses — the photographer behind some of the most influential fashion campaigns in recent years — will receive the Trailblazer Award at The Fashion Awards 2026.
The British Fashion Council (BFC) announced that Gabriel Moses will receive the award at The Fashion Awards ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall in London on November 30.
Previous recipients of the Trailblazer Award include fashion designers Kim Jones, Sarah Burton, and Alessandro Michele — making Moses’ recognition a significant milestone as a photographer and highlighting his growing influence on the fashion industry.
“Gabriel is one of those rare creative talents whose work has an unmistakable visual language and emotional resonance,” Laura Weir, Chief Executive, British Fashion Council, says in a press release. “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.”
Gabriel Moses is a British-Nigerian photographer and filmmaker from South London, known for his distinctive visual style and ability to turn deeply personal stories into striking images that have made an impact across fashion, music and art. Making his directorial debut with Nike at just eighteen years old, Moses established the foundations of a creative practice rooted in storytelling, identity and community. Entirely self-taught, he has since redefined the possibilities of contemporary image-making, making history as the youngest photographer to shoot a Dazed cover at just 22.
His creative portfolio spans campaigns and collaborations with some of the world’s most influential fashion houses and cultural institutions, including Louis Vuitton, Dior, Burberry and Moncler, alongside portraits of cultural figures such as Pharrell Williams, Jay Z, Rihanna, Lauryn Hill, Grace Jones, Cher, Travis Scott, among others. In 2024, Moses released his first monograph Regina.
“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,” Moses says. “I’m grateful to the long list of collaborators who have trusted my ideas.”
