THE nominees for the inaugural Herald online fashion awards have been announced.
The awards, which celebrate the world of online fashion, drew more than 100 entries from retailers, bloggers and designers.
Judges then whittled these entries down to a shortlist of 39 finalists in 11 categories.
The event, which is sponsored by Debenhams, Glasgow Caledonian University Glasgow School for Business and Society and Scotland Re:Designed, takes place on November 16 at Arta in Glasgow and will be hosted by model Eunice Olumide.
A Glasgow Caledonian University spokesman said: "We at Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow School for Business and Society, are at the forefront of fashion education and are proud to support The Herald online fashion awards and to sponsor the Scottish Online Fashion Graduate of the Year category.
"We are delighted at the high standard of entries and the four finalists in our category and wish them all the best in the competition."
High street retailer Debenhams is also sponsoring a category. Eve Robertson, senior PR manager at Debenhams, said: "The calibre of entries has been fantastic and is testament to the passion which exists across Scotland's online fashion community. We are proud to be supporting the Blogger of the Year category."
A spokesman for Scotland Re:Designed said: "Scotland Re:Designed have been excited by the high standard of applicants in our Twitterati category, the four finalists are very impressive."
The People's Choice Award will be determined by a public vote based on the best online customer service and the winner of the Best Mobile App award will be revealed on the night.
Tickets to the event cost £35 and include a champagne reception, goody bag and canapes. For details, visit www.heraldfashion.co.uk.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
