Christopher Kane has been named Scottish Designer of the Year in a ceremony held last night at London’s Corinthia Hotel. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Scottish Fashion Awards, and the sixth time in ten years that Kane has won the prestigious Designer of the Year prize. Other winners on the night included Topshop, which was named International Designer of the Year for its use of “striking tartans” in its fall/winter collection, and Misha Hart, who collected the Scottish Model of the Year accolade.
Meanwhile, Glasgow’s Belstaff was named Luxury Retailer of the Year, Hunter Boots took home the Scottish Accessory Designer of the Year prize and Charles Jeffrey of Central Saint Martins was declared Scottish Fashion Graduate of the Year. The founder of the annual awards, Tessa Hartmann, declared the event a resounding success, saying: “Our aim was to highlight Scotland’s contribution to the wider UK and international fashion industry and I think this evening’s nominees do just that. We’re so proud that over the last 10 years this event has become a benchmark of success for the Scottish fashion industry. Long may it flourish and grow along with the incredible talent that it aims to represent.”
