UK Fashion Export Awards 2009
February 19, 2009 | Levent OZLER
High octane glamour, heritage, footwear and retailer of the year are four of the new categories in this year's expanded UK Fashion Export Awards, which are being relaunched to broaden the opportunity for companies to get involved and also better reflect those products in demand from international buyers.
Winners will be announced at the Awards lunch on Thursday 4 June 2009 in London.
"The 2009 Awards provides a platform to celebrate the success of those fashion companies, who despite having to contend with fluctuating exchange rates and the slow down in consumer spending, still manage to attract the attention of international buyers looking to inject exciting and innovative designs into their stores," explains Paul Alger, executive director, UK Fashion Exports, the export division of the British Clothing Industry Association.
"As overseas trade exhibitions play such an important role in helping UK fashion exporters make contact with overseas buyers, we are delighted that many of our sponsors are providing coveted stands as prizes."
Closing date for entries is 10 March 2009.
