Nicole Farhi has been awarded the lifetime achievement prize at the First Women Awards 2008.
The ceremony, which recognises women who are ‘trailblazers and pioneers’ in business, described the designer as an “extraordinary entrepreneur” whose "outlook and brand are the antithesis of the throwaway culture", Drapers reports.

Farhi, who was originally a sculptor, invaded the fashion world in the early 70’s when she co-founded French Connection. Ten years later, she launched Nicole Farhi.
In 1994 Nicole Farhi's flagship Bond Street store was launched which features her now reputable ‘Nicole's Restaurant’ in the basement.
1998 and 1999 saw the unveiling of the Farhi Home Collection followed by a flagship store opening in New York.
It’s true to say that Nichole Farhi has pioneered the way forward on many occasions in the fashion world fusing Mediterranean and British styles at her base in London.
And, we’ve been fans for ages.
