The Scottish Fashion Awards have announced an impressive nominee shortlist for 2012.

The event, which will be hosted by international style icon Alexa Chung on 11th June in Glasgow, recognises the most influential Scottish players in fashion, working in Scotland and around the world.

It also provides an unrivalled platform for new and emerging talent hailing from Scotland and is attended by influential industry leaders, designers, models, retailers and celebrities and celebrates the best of what Scotland has to offer in fashion, design and textiles.

A host of high profile names are amongst the nominee shortlist including Jonathan Saunders, Christopher Kane, Holly Fulton, April Crichton for Sonia Rykiel, to textile leaders like Hawick Cashmere, Caerlee Mill and Dashing Tweeds.

There are a host of young guys shaping Scotland’s fashionable future like Obscure Couture, Hayley Scanlan, Jennifer Morris, Bonnie Bling and Marc Ross to a scattering of global supermodels including Tali Lennox, Amanda Hendrick and Chloe Campbell. This year the Communicator category line up reads like the A-Z of Britain’s top fashion editors with reps from Harpers Bazaar, Vogue.com and The Times being included along with creative stars from Louis Vuitton and international menswear brand Duchamp.
