Scottish Fashion Awards 2013 - Graduate of the Year 2013 Nominee

Walking the Red Capet.

I feel so honoured to be nominated for a Scottish Fashion Award 2013 as Fashion and Textiles Graduate of the Year selected by the worlds leading fashion houses, the most renowned and respected fashion publications and the leading figures in the fashion and textiles industry.

The 8th Annual Scottish Fashion awards took place at the home of Scotland in London, Dover House. Hosted by TV personality, host of MTV & Im a Celeb, Laura Whitmore.

The evening progressed to London's most central venue - 8 Northumberland where we enjoyed a glorious Scottish Banquet & Champagne and Whisky Reception before a glamorous after party at Whisky Mist, Mayfair.

Meeting the amazing Stella Tennant and Kim Young Seong.

I had the pleasure of chatting to the inspiring Stella Tennant and Kim Young Seong (Chanel) who accepted the award for international designer of the year in place of Creative Director Karl Lagerfeld - they were so appreciative of the Scottish textiles industry and a real inspiration to talk to.

Feature of my collection as "On Trend" for the coming season in the Official Magazine. 

It was such a fantastic event celebrating the vast wealth of Scottish talent and position that we hold within the fashion and textiles industry, I am so honoured to be recognised for my contribution and to be part of such a prestigious event in the fashion capital.
