It is with immense pride that we congratulate 10 Magazine Founder and Global Editor-in-Chief Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou who, last night, was presented with a Special Recognition Award at the 2024 Fashion Awards. Taking place at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Neophitou-Apostolou, who wore a 1995 John Galliano gown, was presented the award by Edward Enninful, AJ Odudu and Jourdan Dunn. The star-studded event celebrated her groundbreaking contributions to the fashion industry and her unparalleled ability to champion creativity and innovation within the industry.Speaking of the bestowment, Neophitou-Apostolou said, “I can’t tell you how honoured I am to be receiving this award. After 32 years in the industry my dream has always been to create a landscape to lift up others, and champion designers and creatives, by telling their stories and showcasing their worlds.”
She added, “This great fashion adventure began almost 25 years ago with the birth of 10. It was a pure moment of passion, a desire to selfishly future-proof my creativity and make an environment that celebrated and championed talented people. It is a place for all gifted individuals to shine, a world where creativity is the principle and singular motivation. I wanted to build a place of innovation, imagination, freedom and inspiration. This was the dream, my ultimate objective. That seed has blossomed into 10 Magazine.”
Neophitou-Apostolou concluded, “Today the 10 family has grown: 10 Australia, 10 USA, 10 Japan and the soon-to-be-launched 10 Germany. I am so fortunate for the continued growth of the 10 world, my dream, which is now resonating globally.”
We salute you, Sophia!
