Fashion Week Awards UK recognise businesses in the fashion and creative industries

It was a celebration of the most innovative and creative businesses in the fashion, beauty, and media industries that opened Porsche Centre Chester Cheshire Fashion Week on opening night. An exciting prestigious awards event was held at the Abode Hotel Chester on the opening night, honoring emerging and established businesses in Chester as well as the media, beauty, fashion, and creative industries for their significant contributions to the industry. Fashion key players from across the UK attended the event.

The Lord Mayor of Chester, Cllr. Razia Daniels attended the awards event and thanked the attendees for their contributions. Winners included marketers, PR agencies, aesthetic beauty businesses, hairdressers, makeup artists, models, photographers, and fashion brands. At the awards ceremony, individual designers and businesses demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability and ethical practices were acknowledged.

Claire Namukolo Raven, the organiser, said, "The awards were a great testament to how Chester is a best-kept secret and marked a first for our region's fashion and creative industries. Visitors from all around the UK attended the awards, as well as Chester businesses that are contributors within these fields but have not been recognised due to our city not having an active creative and fashion scene for many years since the closure of Browns Of Chester, which contributed tremendously to putting Chester on the fashion map. Chester has so many great businesses within these fields that only those from Chester appreciate It is lovely to recognise these businesses on a global front, and I am proud to be one of the first to organise this awards ceremony for Chester.

The businesses honoured at the awards ceremony, in the presence of our lord Mayor, will continue to shape and redefine the world of fashion in Chester and beyond for years to come with their incredible talent and innovation within the fashion and creative industries." Hosting an event like this in Chester is great for the city's tourism and helps highlight Chester's creative and fashion scene. The contributions of fashion designers, marketing and PR agencies, fashion brands, photographers, models, stylists, makeup artists, and hairstylists are essential to bringing fashion to life and shaping the overall aesthetic of the industry. Their work often goes unnoticed, but the Fashion Week Awards UK provided an opportunity to celebrate their invaluable impact."

These outstanding businesses were honoured not only for their creative talents but also for their exemplary commitment to reducing environmental impact and advocating for fair labour practices within the fashion industry.
