What do you get when you mix Holly Fulton's crystal-studded bomber jacket with an Alice Palmer tuxedo-style evening dress and some beautifully designed Rosie Sugden cashmere socks?
The very best of Scottish fashion, that's what.
Each of these designers has been nominated for a 2012 Scottish Fashion Award. Along with fellow nominees, clothing labels Spencer and Dashing Tweeds, they represent the very best of style.
From the textile mills in the Borders to the celebrated and award-winning designers showing at London Fashion Week, Scottish fashion talent continues to go from strength to strength.
The fashion awards, which take place on June 11 in the Clyde Auditorium, has built its reputation on celebrating this wealth of talent. This year the ceremony will be presented by style icon Alexa Chung – it is also the first time the event is open to the public, with tickets priced at £35.
As well as the nominees featured in our fashion shoot the awards has honoured some of the biggest names in Scottish (and indeed British) fashion right now. Other nominees include Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders and model Tali Lennox. Textile brands Hawick Cashmere and Caerlee Mills are also in the running for an award.
The Herald and Sunday Herald are media partners with the event and are sponsoring the Young Scottish Fashion Photographer of the Year category. Nominees for that category include Philip Stanley Dickson, Anna Isola Crolla, Jonathan Daniel Pryce and Paul Cameron.
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
