When I read this I said to myself, thank GOD!! Glasgow will finally be represented at London Fashion Week in a proper way. Ok, I may not have gone that far, but I do think that if a designer like Aimee McWilliams can come from a city like Glasgow, then there must be plenty of other talent coming from this city. To that end ‘Glasgow: Scotland With Style Design Collective’ is happening again at London Fashion Week. 8 designers from Glasgow including designer of the year award winner at last year’s Scottish Style Awards, Aimee McWilliams.

The project awards designers from Glasgow a chance at £90,000 and face time with buyers, investors and the press. Normally these designers wouldn’t get a chance at doing this because of the high costs associated with putting on a show, but this event allows them the opportunity to do just that. A recent member of the collective is award winning, popular designer Christopher Kane. A good chunk of the Papierdoll office I hear is rooting for Aimee McWilliams.

What do Deryck Walker, Jonathan Saunders, Graeme Black, Aimee McWilliams, and Vidler & Nixon all have in common? They are up for designer of the year award at the Scottish fashion awards tonight. Unbenownst to some, Scotland has produced many of the top fashion designers in the British fashion industry and in wider industry as well. The odds on favorite to win the award is a toss up between Deryck Walker and Graeme Black, but surprises have been known to happen and Aimee McWilliams is not too far behind in the running. The awards are set to be hosted by Vogue TV’s own Louise Roe and is set to take place in Scotland’s Stirling Castle.
