The Scottish
Fashion Awards 2012 ceremony will be taking place this evening and we wish
Vauxhall Fashion Scout designer Jennifer Morris the best of luck!
The designer
is up for the ‘Scottish Young Designer of the Year’ award at this year’s
Scottish Fashion Awards. The ceremony, which takes place at The Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow and is hosted by Alexa Chung,
acknowledges influential Scotish fashion figures and acts as a platform for
emerging Scottish designers.
The
nominations for the Scottish Young Designer of the Year award, sponsored by Scottish Fashion
Council, are as follows:
1. Obscure Couture
2. Isolated Heroes
3. Graeme Armour
4. Hayley Scanlan
5. Jennifer Morris
6. Rebecca Torres
7. Marc Ross
We
spoke to Jennifer, an
LCF graduate who showcased her AW12 collection at Vauxhall Fashion Scout’s exhibition, last month following her nomination. She gave us exclusive shots from her
studio and described the potential of winning the ‘Scottish Young Designer of
the Year’ award as affirming “all the hard work and
long hours that have been put in so far are worth it and just part of the
journey towards establishing my name within the fashion industry” (read the full post here).
Good
luck for tonight Jennifer – regardless of whether you win the category, it’s
still an outstanding achievement to even be nominated.
