British fashion personality Alexa Chung led the way as designers, models and stars from stage and screen took to the red carpet to celebrate the best of Scottish fashion.

It’s all about discovering the incredible wealth of new talent we have right here on our doorstep

The model and television presenter was host of the seventh Scottish Fashion Awards, which were held at the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow.

Christopher Kane was named Scottish Fashion Designer of the Year 2012, beating off competition from two-time winner Jonathan Saunders to claim the top prize.

He said: “I am extremely proud and grateful to receive my award.

“Scotland has such a wealth of great fashion talent from design through to production and the heritage is something that we should all be proud of.”

Kane, wearing a mixture of Prada, Versace and his own label, added: “I’m here with other really talented designers, friends of mine, and we are all winners.”

Doctor Who actress Karen Gillan – who also played the role of supermodel Jean Shrimpton in the BBC drama We’ll Take Manhattan earlier this year – was named Scottish Fashion Icon.

Other stars of the small screen walking the red carpet included Made In Chelsea’s Millie Mackintosh, television personality Lizzie Cundy and Sugababe Jade Ewen.

Guests were treated to exclusive catwalk shows and entertainment by the late Amy Winehouse’s god-daughter Dionne Bromfield and Scottish teenager Tallia Storm, who performed at Sir Elton John’s concert the previous night.

Bromfield revealed she was supporting local talent by opting for a fringe-hemmed, print dress by Scottish designer Holly Fulton, who was one of the nominees for Scottish Fashion Designer of the Year.

Bromfield said: “I was given a load of dresses (to choose from) and they were amazing. I would never have been given these designers in London.”

Tali Lennox, daughter of Annie Lennox, took home the Scottish Model of the Year prize for a second consecutive year, while supermodel Stella Tennant was inducted into the Hall of Fame and David Gandy, the face of Dolce & Gabbana, also made an appearance.

Luxury brand Mulberry was named International Designer of the Year for use of a Scottish fabric and Scottish Textile Brand of the Year went to Dashing Tweeds.

Hayley Scanlan was named Scottish Young Designer of the Year, while William Chambers claimed the award for Scottish Accessory Designer.

The show closed with an exclusive premiere of Swarovski’s Kingdom of Jewels collection, brought from Paris to Scotland for one night only.

The awards founder and chairman Tessa Hartmann said: “We do like to punch above our weight and I just can’t believe that so many people have flown in from around the world to attend.

“This is now a serious commercial platform for our textile companies, young designers and fashion retailers living and working in Scotland.

“For me, it’s all about discovering the incredible wealth of new talent we have right here on our doorstep.”
