The WGSN Global Fashion Awards, the world’s leading trend and style forecaster, will be held in May and Dubai-based fashion and lifestyle company S*auce has been nominated in one of its prestigious categories.

The Awards celebrate and reward what’s NEW and what’s NEXT in fashion from breakthrough design talent to innovation in design, buying, retail and e-tail. Judged by an elite panel of international experts and attracting entries from more than 50 countries, these are the only fashion awards to recognize achievement on a global scale. The final winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on May 14th 2015.

Nez Gebreel, CEO of the Dubai Design & Fashion Council said: “Talent development is a key initiative of DDFC and we are delighted for S*uce and would like to extend our heart-felt congratulations at their nomination at such prestigious international awards. We are absolutely thrilled that a homegrown, Dubai based concept store has been shortlisted in the same category with iconic global fashion players Colette(France) and Matchesfashion.com (UK). Achievements such as this allow the world to see what first class talent we have in the UAE. There is a tremendous amount of creativity and positive energy in the region’s industry and we are here to help support and mentor these designers and companies so they may realise their potential and achieve their dreams. We wish them the best of luck for the announcement in May.”
