Next named High Street Retailer of the year...

Next have scooped the top gong of High Street Retailer of the Year at the annual Comfort Prima High Street Fashion Awards 2011, in London last night.

The store was the biggest winner of the night taking home the prizes for best workwear, social media and online shopping categories and shoes.

To some, this is classed as the 'Oscars of the High Street Fashion Industry', this annual event is to celebrate the best the highstreet has to offer with winners chosen from both a panel made up of industry experts and those who know best, the consumers, shoppers and readers.

Hosted by Jeff Banks and Prima editor Maire Fahey, the event was attended by 1000 Prima readers, retailers and celebrities including The Only Way is Essex sars Lauren Goodger and Lydia Bright, Darius Campbell and Michele Collins.

John Lewis, Matalan and Marks & Specer all collected two awards each.
