This year's edition of the Scottish Fashion Awards has now opened for entries. The black tie 'Highland Gathering Gala' will take place on 21st October 2016 at the Rosewood Hotel in London, which is one of this year's sponsors of the awards.

The Secretary of State for Scotland RT David Mundell MP said; "I'm delighted to co-host this event once again with Tessa. I've seen first hand the wealth of talent that hails from Scotland and the influence a win at these awards can mean to many Scottish businesses and indeed Scottish creatives. This isn't just about a congratulatory nod; a nomination in these awards  has  made  a  monumental  difference  to  the  many  small  businesses, designers and fashion innovators from networking, brand awareness and commercial success."
