The inaugural Herald Fashion Awards are looming with less than a week to go until the glitzy ceremony.
Interest in Scotland's newest online fashion event has been growing steadily, and a new sponsor has been announced in the form of Love Your Clothes - a new campaign from Zero Waste Scotland.
On the night, Lynn Wilson, Key Accounts Manager for Textiles at Zero Waste Scotland will offer a presentation to talk about the campaign and educate guests, with key tips on how to "love" your clothes.
Of sponsoring the event, Lynn said: "We're delighted to support Heraldfashion.co.uk Awards, and to have this opportunity to highlight the importance of loving what's in our wardrobes.
"A staggering volume of textiles end up in the bin every year, much of it needlessly. Love Your Clothes has something for everyone - from the needle novice to the accomplished sewer, providing practical hints and tips to help your clothes last longer, including buying pre-owned items or repairing or altering our clothes."
Love Your Clothes will also be sending the lucky winner of the Best Fashion Twitterati category on a trip to London later this month for an upcycling evening for London Fashion Bloggers, with the idea that the winner will return to Scotland and share the stories from their trip.
A surprise on the night will be the winner of The People's Choice Award, the only category voted for by the public, which received over 180 votes in 48 hours. The winner will be announced on the night and finalists include DIY Nails, Bonnie Bling, Abandon Ship Apparel and Common People Clothing.
The full list of finalists is displayed below, with the winners of each category announced over the course of the night. Information on attending the event can be found by visiting www.heraldfashion.co.uk. Tickets are priced at £35 and include a champagne drinks reception, goody bag, fashionable platter of delicacies, fashion showcase and of course - the highly anticipated awards ceremony.
Hosted by Scottish supermodel Eunice Olumide, the event will take place on Sunday, November 16, at Arta, Glasgow, and promises to be as stylish as the guests attending.
For more information on attending the event and to book tickets, please contact Lynn Kelly on 0141 302 7410 or lynn.kelly@heraldandtimes.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
