Goodwood is delighted to announce Molly Goddard as the winner of this year’s Goodwood Talent in Fashion Award, in association with the British Fashion Council. Known for her ethereal creations in signature tulle, combining volume and construction with a sense of fun and frivolity, Molly’s eponymous label was first created in 2014. She has since collected a plethora of prizes, as well as been accredited with bringing back maximalism and everyday exuberance. Molly relies on time-honoured techniques including hand-smocking and shirring and has dressed everyone from the infamous Villanelle in Killing Eve to pop star Rhianna and model and activist Adwoa Aboah. This new project will see her designing three show-stopping couture gowns inspired by Goodwood’s heritage.
Molly was a clear contender for this year’s award: her collections are full of bright and joyful colours and she is renowned for her lavish and flamboyant designs. This fits perfectly with Goodwood’s approach to fashion, which embraces a glamorous yet relaxed style.
The Duke of Richmond
The Duke of Richmond says: “Molly was a clear contender for this year’s award: her collections are full of bright and joyful colours and she is renowned for her lavish and flamboyant designs. This fits perfectly with Goodwood’s approach to fashion, which embraces a glamorous yet relaxed style. We have always been known for this quintessentially ‘England in the Summer’ way of dressing, ever since King Edward VII and Lillie Langtry came during the 19th century. This award has been created in order to support innovative British talent whilst helping us to build a unique collection of one-off pieces here at Goodwood. We are thrilled that Molly’s gowns will become part of our fashion legacy.”
Molly Goddard says: “I am honoured to accept the Goodwood Award for fashion this year and am very thankful to The Duke of Richmond, the British Fashion Council and the Judging panel. When visiting it was immediately apparent how special Goodwood is, on arrival, I was shown into the main house through a room filled floor to ceiling with beautiful Sèvres porcelain. The three gowns I have created are inspired by the incredible art collection and interiors of Goodwood House; I am immensely proud that my work will become a part of this amazing collection.”
