Great Scots: Meet The Scottish Fashion Awards Nominees

 Meet The Scottish Fashion Awards Nominees

 

MODEL JeanCampbell, who shot her first ever editorial - for Vogue's October 2013 issue - less than a year ago, and has since become a Burberry campaign face, has been nominated in the Scottish Model of the Year category at the forthcoming Scottish Fashion Awards. Mary Charteris, who won the prize last year, is also nominated. 

"2014 is a hugely important year for Scotland from a political, cultural and sporting perspective so it's important that we use whatever means to shine the spotlight on our incredible wealth of fashion talent emanating from Scotland and Britain," SFA founder Tessa Hartmann told us today. "The fashion sector is often overlooked and under estimated in the Scottish business community and this definitive list highlights that that view needs to change. Our job is to highlight them to global audiences - regardless of borders."

Last year's Scottish Designer of the Year, Christopher Kane, will face his old friends Jonathan Saunders and Holly Fulton for the prize again this year, while up-and-coming brands including Harvey Nichols-favourite Deetz and 2012's winner Hayley Scanlan will battle it out for the Young Designer crown.
