Drapers Fashion retail industry news, trends and analysis
Celebrate the people that make your footwear business tick.
This year’s Drapers Footwear Awards are taking place on 1 July at Grosvenor House, London and will spotlight the brands, retailers and dedicated individuals that power the industry.
There are 16 categories to enter, and chances to win – from Womenswear Brand of the Year to the People and Progress Award, highlighting those who drive change in their businesses.
This year, we have also introduced a new category: Footwear Buyer of the Year will recognise those with a keen eye on the brands and trends that create a buzz.
The evening will culminate in the Lifetime Achievement Award, previously presented to industry luminaries including Neil Clifford, CEO of Kurt Geiger, Jimmy Choo and Joe Foster, co-founder of Reebok.
