The opportunities that have developed since winning the Midlands Emerging Designer Award have been amazing.  Showing at the event is extremely rewarding and has helped to give me the confidence for the future. I would like to thank everyone for all the opportunities and hard word they put into the day! Sarah Louise Woodward, Nottingham,  Emerging Designer of the Year 2015.

The Midlands Fashion Awards is a great platform for designers to showcase and have their work recognised. It creates great opportunities for designers to expose themselves in an industry which can be extremely difficult. I was so happy to have won my category and it has already created lots of opportunities for me. Georgia Richardson,  Worcester, Midlands Young Designer of the Year 2015

 

"Midlands Fashion Awards  is an amazing company which offers a platform for emerging designers. I am honoured to have had RCW walk the catwalk at the Midlands Fashion Awards Independent Designers Catwalk Show. An amazing production, models and make-up artists."  Reece Curtis-Walwyn (RCW), London  

 

“I heard about the Midlands Fashion Awards in 2010 and never thought I would grace the catwalks. It’s a great platform for creatives in the Midlands area which can help to promote you and your brand image locally and worldwide.  If you have a passion for making things, this is the show that you should aspire to”. Rose Perkins, FashionSistas Boutique, Birmingham   

 

“It was worth it! All the late nights of staying up sewing, these kinds of things just really want to make you push forward. I’m going to carry on branching into the wedding dress scene, move to London and take the fashion world by storm”! Michael Wallace, Nottingham, Midlands Fashion Awards Emerging Designer of the Year 2014   

 

“Winning Midlands Fashion Awards 2014 Make-up Artist of the Year was a massive boost to my confidence, in my work and going out and speaking to clients”.  I‘ve also met so many talented people in the industry which I am sincerely grateful for.  I am so glad I entered the competition and would advise anyone who is thinking about entering to go for it”. Lian Young, Worcs, Midlands Fashion Awards Make-up Artist of the Year 2014.

 

“The Fashion experience - At 5am in the morning, the long yet exciting day began. At first glance, the venue looked unlike what was expected but when entered, it was beyond expectations. A beautiful renovated church had been transformed into a high fashion setting for the independent designers show to take place. Luxurious and pristine, it was a perfect background for the vivid array of models flaunting high fashion designs (that had yet to arrive”). Little Hill People, Manchester at the MFA - Independent Designer Runway Show Sept 2014.

 

"I would like to thank the organisers of Midlands Fashion Awards for the opportunity to present my graduate collection down the catwalk. The whole day was full of excitement and the main event was exceptional, a great show to be part of. Being selected as one of the six finalists for young designer of the year was an achievement in itself and with the competition as strong as it was to hear my name called was a huge stock to say the least. I would just like to say again a huge thank you and I'm excited for the publication of my work in Style Birmingham Magazine".  Sarah King, Young Designer of the Year 2013, Cambridge
