The 2012 Drapers Fashion Awards were held at the Grosvenor House Hotel last night, honouring fashion brands that have excelled this year.
A shortlist was compiled of the best in each category and high street fashion’s finest turned up last night to find out who the winners were.
ASOS were the biggest winners of the night, winning the awards for both Larger Etailer of the Year and Growing Retailer of the Year. The winner of the Retailer of the Year award, which was voted for by the general public in association with InStyle, was River Island.
Speaking about the evening, Caroline Nodder – Drapers’ editor-in-chief said: “It is a special year for Drapers as the awards ceremony coincides with Drapers' 125th anniversary. The judges and myself have been very impressed with the quality of nominees - even though it has made it a very tough year to judge! Congratulations to all winning retailers and of course all nominees. The night proved to be another successful evening."
