Brit Awards 2014: Philip Treacy designs trophy

It has been announced that BRIT awards statue Britannia has received a 'punk' makeover by Milliner Philip Treacy

He Follows in the footsteps of Vivienne Westwood and Damien Hirst who have added their take to the famous statue in previous years. 

He said: "Music has always been my inspiration and I'm fortunate to have worked with some of the music industry's greatest artists."









"My inspiration for the trophy comes from a uniquely British genre of music, punk."


The design instantly takes me back to the 'Mohawk' headdress worn by Sarah Jessica Parker to this years Met Gala








Nominations for the awards - officially called the Brit Awards 2014 with MasterCard - will be announced in January at an event to be screened by ITV.


Tickets for the ceremony itself - also to be shown once again by ITV - go on sale today.
