Drapers' Fashion Industry Awards Finalists

It is once again time for the Drapers Awards, which will be held at Grosvenor House on 23 November this year. The Drapers Awards, organised by the British fashion business weekly Drapers, is now in its 15 th year and recognizes the best in the industry.

Awards will be given in nineteen categories, including the new Etailer of the Year, Value/Discount Retailer of the Year, Best New Store or Best New Department, Sales Assistant of the Year, and the Drapers Lifetime Achievement Award.

The awards are regarded very highly within the fashion industry. Last year's winner River Island enjoyed the fruits of its win. "We have put decals in all our store windows to make customers aware of the Award, thus increasing awareness and ultimately bringing new customers into stores," said managing director Richard Bradbury.

This year's nominees include ASOS for Etailer of the Year, Monsoon for Multiple of the Year and Asda, Peacock and Tesco for Best Value/Discount retailer. Past winners include River Island, G-Star, Ted Baker and Bratz. For a full list of nominees go to: www.drapersawards.co.uk
