Scottish Fashion Awards

The Scottish fashion awards have again done us proud, show casing the wonderful talent we have here in Scotland. The tartan filled event, hosted by style guru, Alexa Chung, proved to be a success for its 7th consecutive year. Judged by a panel of knowledgeable magazine editors, photographers and bigwigs in the fashion industry, the chosen award winners were well picked. The only prize to be awarded by a vote from the public was ‘Scottish Fashion Icon’ which went to the deserving Dr. Who actress, Karen Gillan. Karen’s demure and sophisticated style won this award over actress Louise Linton and even model Tali Lennox!

The winners which really stood out for me were the Scottish Textile Brand of the Year, which went to ‘Dashing Tweeds’ who provide a fresh and exciting range of tweed patterns which will give any suit/tie/trainer a funky and modern twist. Also, congrats to Stella Tennant for her 20+ years in modelling and making it to the Scottish Fashion Hall of Fame! 20 years down the line and she is still going strong advertising campaigns for Chanel and working on an international level. 

The winner of Scottish Fashion Photographer was also very deserving of the prize, Jonathan Daniel Pryce definitely caught my eye. His work is very emotional, and always conveys a strong atmosphere, you can always sense exactly what is meant. But, the star of the show for me has to be the Scottish Young Designer of the Year winner, Hayley Scanlan. Her pieces are exactly what I look for in fashion these days. Daring, colourful, eccentric, bold, funky and glamorous! Everything that you need in your wardrobe. Even celebrities are loving this girls’ stuff. Her designs have been donned by Stooshe (funky new girl band) and Little Mix, and I doubt it will be long before Jessie J is on the bandwagon, this is the type of thing she’d love! The designs that Hayley creates are always very powerful, strong and sexy. I believe the wearer of any of her garments would immediately be absorbed by these qualities. Well done Hayley, and keep it up! We need a new fresh chick on the block to bring some vibrancy and youth back to our wardrobes. One to watch folks!
