THE finalists of the 2017 Herald Fashion Awards have been decided and we can unveil the shortlist for Scotland’s only dedicated online fashion event.
With an outstanding number of entries received, judges were looking for the top online businesses and entrepreneurs in the world of fashion.
Finalists were selected across 10 categories, focusing on online business models, sustainability, as well as rewarding bloggers and marketing campaigns within the sector.
The judges commented on the outstanding quality of the entries and were overwhelmed with the display of innovation and creativity demonstrated by the finalists. The awards, which are supported by Bridge 2 Business, Of One Mind and Walker Slater, are an opportunity to showcase Scottish talent, as well as their commercial capabilities.
Brian McEwan, programme manager, Bridge 2 Business said: “Well done to all the shortlisted entries, as the quality of competition has remained very high this year. The judges will have had a tough task picking the winners, and the Bridge 2 Business team are really looking forward to finding out the results in a few weeks.”
Paul Walker, founder and lead designer of Walker Slater, said “Walker Slater wish all the finalists the best of luck in their categories. We know how much effort and hard work it takes to get to this stage, we look forward to meeting the finalists on 5th of November.”
Director Martin Scott at Of One Mind said: “We are thrilled to see the competition get to this stage. Everyone who has entered has shown just what makes this event so special and we congratulate the finalists for getting this far. Best of luck to everyone on the night”.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
