We have provided an invaluable stage for new and innovative fashion talent and we've also provided an international platform for existing businesses to increase their awareness and commerce. Global fashion editors, buyers and brands are using these awards as a benchmark of success. We are delighted that despite these challenging times we are able to continue with these core objectives and work hard at putting the incredible Scottish fashion talent we have on the international map."

"For one night only, we will celebrate a fashionable Scotland . From our international airport to our most luxurious hotels at Hotel Du Vin group. From tradition and heritage at Stirling Castle to the tartan red carpet itself, which will play host to a plethora of vintage and couture gowns, Swarovski jewels and a series of heels which seem to navigate those ancient cobblestones oh so well - that's what this all about and people love it."
