WGSN Global Fashion Awards 2011 - Short List Party

This is the second year of trend-forecasting giant WGSN's Global Fashion Awards. It's been a big success and has had nominees from all over the world. E-map (owner of WGSN) gives out many fashion awards and the Global Fashion Awards has become their most popular event. The short list was announced at a party at St Martin's Lane.It's quite an exciting event and I'm particularly excited to see who will win the Breakthrough Designer, Most Creative Student, Outstanding Fashion Collaboration/Collaborator Collection and Outstanding Fashion Innovator/Innovation. This year I'm one of the judges and the winners will be announced at Gotham Hall in New York City on the 20th of October.(Above me, wearing a Stephen Jone's hat, Veronica Moncho Lobo and Courtney Blackman)Una Burke, David Longshaw and Kirsty Ward                                Eudon ChoiGLOBAL FASHION AWARDS 2011 SHORTLIST:Outstanding Customer ExperienceAlphaOne, AmritsarHarrodsHolt RenfrewLibertyLL BeanMacy’s (Backstage Pass) JWT New Yorkmy-wardrobe.comOdelSanta EulaliaZapposOutstanding New StoreConverse, SoHo, New YorkCore Spirit, LondonLa Boutique Palacio, MexicoMiu Miu, Bond Street, LondonMr Mudd and Mr Gold, Stockholm, SwedenMyer, MelbournePuma, Boulevard de Sébastopol, Paris (Plajer & Franz Studio)Siamo, LondonVPL, SoHo, New YorkWalisuma, La Paz, BoliviaOutstanding Brand MixBrownsHudson’s Bay CompanyIntermixKirna ZabêteLane CrawfordMatchesNK StoreOpening Ceremonys*uceSaks Fifth AvenueGlobal Brand or RetailerAbercrombie & FitchASOSDesigualForever 21H&MKaren MillenKate SpadeMangoReissTopshopBest E-tailerASOSfarfetch.comGilt GroupeHauteLookJohn Lewismy-wardrobe.comNET-A-PORTER.COMRue La Lathecorner.com (YOOX Group)vente-privee.comMost Sustainable Brand or RetailerChristopher RaeburnLevi Strauss & CoMarks & SpencerNaya Shoes, Brown Shoe CoPachacutiPeople TreePikolinosProphetikSobral USAStewart+BrownMost Influential Design TeamAnimaleClub MonacoDieselFred BareH&MMangoRag & BoneTopshopMost Influential Designer, WomenswearChristopher Bailey, BurberryErdemJonathan SaundersMarc JacobsMiuccia Prada, PradaPhoebe Philo, CélineMost Influential Designer, MenswearItalo Zucchelli, Calvin Klein CollectionJunya WatanabeMiuccia Prada, PradaRaf SimonsRiccardo Tisci, GivenchyTom FordTommy HilfigerMost Influential Designer, Footwear and/or AccessoriesAcneAdrian Margelist, NAVYBOOTAlexander WangCamilla SkovgaardNicholas KirkwoodPierre HardyRick OwensBreakthrough DesignerAlejandro IngelmoDannijoEudon ChoiKirsty WardMasha MaMichael CincoMichael van der HamQiu HaoTimo WeilandÚna BurkeWe Are HandsomeBreakthrough Brand or RetailerBombay ElectricDonna IdaModa OperandiNOT JUST A LABELPretty GreenRaoul (FJ Benjamin, Singapore)Spinners by Shane Warne (Lime Door Brands)Sprout by GroSSENSEUniforms for the DedicatedMost Creative Student CollectionAsiima Mawudoku - London Metropolitan UniversityEntouarnt Gavriilidis - Istituto MarangoniEstee Anna Lindley - University of Central LancashireHugo Tsang KaWai - Parsons The New School of DesignMaarten van der Horst - Central Saint MartinsMarius Janusauskas - Royal Antwerp Academy of Fine ArtsMathilde Jansson - Parsons Paris School of Art & DesignRachel Cliffe - University of Central LancashireYeashin Kim - London College of FashionYingzhi Luo - London College of FashionMost Innovative Marketing CampaignArmani Jeans (Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners)Dr Marten’s AirwairHarvey NicholsJoyceMacy’sMimco, TabooNike, AKQAPradaReservaTargetWrangler, VF EuropeOutstanding Fashion Innovator/InnovationA Suit That FitsadiVERSE by adidas (Start JudgeGill)Alexandre HerchcovitchCastro Street ProjectImagine FashionLevi Strauss & CoManish AroraMasai Marketing & Trading (MBT International)Merrells*uceOutstanding Fashion Collaboration/CollaboratorCoca-Cola Light/Diet Coke & Karl LagerfeldEdgars & LAMB by Gwen StefaniGeorge at Asda & Barbara HulanickiBarbour & Tokihito YoshidaJC Penney (I “Heart” Ronson)Joyce, 40th anniversary collaborationsLinda FarrowMacy's & Matthew WilliamsonMalan Breton & NBC UniversalOpening Ceremony & PartnersTarget Corporation (Go International Designer Collective
