Drapers Independents Awards brought together around 300 fashion retail professionals from all over the UK and Ireland for a glittering lunchtime ceremony yesterday at Grosvenor House London to celebrate the creme de la creme of the industry.
The shortlist this year was extremely diverse, and Drapers welcomed new names as well as long-established brands and retailers, from lingerie to childrenswear to bridal.
Jill Geoghegan, Drapers editor, said: “Drapers is proud to continue to support the independent fashion retail sector, as it has done throughout its 136-year history.
“Congratulations to our winners and finalists, who continue to innovate and enliven towns across the UK and Ireland.”
The Pantry Underwear won the best multi-channel retailer (sponsored by Skechers) with Wuka picking up the Sustainability Award.
