The creative director at Alexander McQueen will be handed the gong at this year's Fashion Awards for her "empowering and narrative approach to shows".
Caroline Rush, British Fashion Council executive, said: "Sarah's empowering and narrative approach to shows and her focus on community and appreciation of craft, technology and English heritage is what has made her one of the most respected designers of our time. Her commitment to sharing her vision and expertise with the future generations of fashion designers has been remarkable. She's an incredible source of inspiration for many generations to come and we look forward to celebrating with her in London in December."
Sarah has worked with a number of celebrities, but one of her most iconic pieces was the wedding dress that Duchess Catherine wore when she married Prince William, Duke of Cambridge in April 2011.
And Sarah previously revealed she absolutely "loves" what she does and is grateful she can go to work every day doing what she enjoys.
She said last year: "What everyone always wants to ask about are the three things I won't talk about: the wedding dress, Lee and my family. But I always say, it's so amazing to be able to go to work every day and love what you do, and I personally want that to be how I'm judged. The work - that's the narrative, not what I do on the weekend."
