Cathy Donohue

Philip Treacy is designing the trophies for the 2014 Brit Awards and has said they will have a “punk” look.

Treacy, whose hats have been worn by Madonna, Lady Gaga, Boy George, Grace Jones and Britain’s Princess Beatrice, among others, 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.”

In previous years the trophies have been designed by renowned industry figures including Vivienne Westwood, Peter Blake and Damien Hirst.
