World renowned fashion designer, Ben de Lisi, is confirmed to judge the design categories at the prestigious annual kbbreview Industry Awards. Ben will join leading experts, respected journalists and other industry professionals in rewarding the best in retail design and business within the UK’s bathroom and kitchen industry.

Ben is a strong player on the English fashion scene and over the years has established a loyal fashion and celebrity following.  Since 1995 Ben has been showing at London Fashion Week and has won the coveted British Glamour Designer of the Year award twice in 1994 and 1995.  And, his diffusion line in conjunction with Debenhams called BDL has become one of the largest selling ranges under the Designers at Debenhams umbrella.
 
As fashion and interior design have become increasingly overlapping, Ben’s sense of style has been embraced by the interiors world and he has worked with prestigious property developers and is currently working with Abacus, developing a unique range of branded bathrooms. 

The kbbreview Industry Awards, organised for the third time by the leading industry magazine, kbbreview, are open to all retailers, interior designers and architects working in the bathroom and kitchen field. The distinguished judging panel, comprising independent experts and many of the most respected figures in the industry, under the Chairmanship of Andrew Davies, editor of kbbreview, will scrutinise all the entries before announcing the shortlist of finalists.

The award categories for 2008 include Master Retailer, the Showroom Award, Designer Awards – for projects costing up to and over 15k and 25k, the Young Designer Award, Contract Design Award, the Achievement Award and, new for 2008, the Environmental Product Award.
