Meet the judges for TheIndustry.fashion People, Planet & Purpose Awards

TheIndustry.fashion People, Planet & Purpose Awards recognises fashion brands, retailers and designers placing these essential three pillars at the centre of their strategies and we have assembled an outstanding panel of industry experts to judge the entries.

The necessary shift to sustainability and circularity for the fashion industry requires an entirely new approach to doing business, and a committed, motivated and diverse workforce will be crucial to delivering this. Our judges will be looking for brands, designers and businesses who are pushing boundaries in those fields be they small independents through to multinational giants. We're interested in hearing from everyone.

Each entry costs just £150 and if your are successfully shortlisted you will receive two complimentary tickets to attend our VIP cocktail ceremony on 27 February at The Corinthia London (there will be no further charges). Since the ceremony is VIP-invitation only, being shortlisted is the only way to guarantee access to the event, so enter now before the entry deadline of 29 November.
