The top prize – the Gold Award for Exporter of the Year, sponsored by Icelandic bank Landsbanki - went to Orla Kiely, the London-based plc. The Export Personality of the Year was won by Joseph Ettedgui, founder of the Joseph shops. Orla Kiely, the Dublin-born textiles specialist, first hit the headlines in the mid ‘90s when she was commissioned by Harrods to produce a range of hats following her finale spot on the graduation catwalk of the Royal College of Art. Since then her signature stem print has appeared on fashion products ranging from clothing to china and chocolates. Orla Kiely’s retail empire includes new stores in Paris and Hong Kong and its website attracts shoppers from 14 countries. For more than three decades, Joseph Ettedgui has been a well-known figure on the international fashion circuit and has done much to create a positive perception of the UK fashion industry. The other London based winners were: Lingerie and Beachwear: Amoralia, specialists in luxury maternity lingerie. Stars such as Toni Collette and supermodel Karen Elson are fans of the brand. Women’s Accessories: Sam Ubhi has notched up 20 years in the business, beginning with luxury handmade jewellery and subsequently expanding into bags. Womenswear: Ariella, one of the UK’s leading names for cocktail, evening and special occasion wear since the ‘60s New Exporter : Chris Liu and Tibor Matyas, founders of Chris & Tibor, met while working for Burberry Prorsum and launched their English made bag business in 2006. Other winners were: Men’s Accessories: Brighton based denisonboston, whose collection includes cufflinks, tie pins and watches. Men’s Fashion: Derbyshire-based John Smedley combines more than 220 years’ experience in knitwear, Page 1 yet remains an innovative exporter of fine knitwear, made in the UK. Ethical Fashion: Galashiels based Eribé, headed by Rosemary Eribé, produces 100% undyed Scottish knitwear as well as designs created by 100 handknitters. Recycling and reuse has been a matter of course since the company started in 1986. Children’s Fashion: Devon-located Emile et Rose, the gift-orientated babywear company that uses Nottingham lace combined with Victorian-inspired styling. Every item is a complete accessorised outfit, sold on a handmade wooden hanger with a free gift box. “British companies are having to be even more creative both with their collections and their marketing to grow their exports year on year, but our Award winners and finalists demonstrate it can be done,” confirms Paul Alger, executive director, UK Fashion Exports. “Membership of UK Fashion Exports is increasing as more companies are looking to us to provide the expertise to help them sell overseas.” Prizes included stands at leading UK and overseas fashion shows, financial support and global trade advice worth £20,000 provided by FedEx. The Awards were hosted by comedian Fred MacAulay. Ends Note to Editors: UK Fashion Exports is an independent trade association supported by its members, offering practical help to British exporters as well as to overseas buyers, agents and press. Membership is open to UK-based manufacturers, designers and retailers of apparel and accessories.

At the time of writing, the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted many losses: human, social and economic. What we are now experiencing is an unprecedented moment of crisis in modern history. However, it is during uncertain times that companies often come up with new ideas, converting the crisis into an opportunity, and adopting a long-term vision of future challenges. This prolonged disruptive situation is creating profound changes in consumer behavior and how companies are responding to these changes—prompting a debate about the future of the fashion and luxury industry. There is a general feeling of rethinking luxury and driving it in new directions, considering which business models will be feasible and more relevant in the new normal. Tradition and responsiveness, two elements that have always characterized luxury companies, will both be required to face great challenges in the post-COVID environment. We see the pandemic acting as a divider between the old way of doing business and the new scenario that is taking shape, characterized by changing consumer behavior. Hence, in this report, we talk about a new age for fashion and luxury and will explore the main trends that will drive the industry in the coming months.
