Polartec, Under Armour and Fila were the category finalists at the London-based ceremony.
French swimwear brand Princess Tam Tam triumphed in the swimwear category, with Seafolly, Von Follies and We are Handsome as runners-up.
Lycra sponsored the future designers category, with the award going to activewear designer Lucy Gardener, followed by Haiwaii-based lingerie designer Patricia Clariza and swimwear designers Hanna Lucatelli and Han Zhonghsu.
Emma J Shipley won the Avery Dennison Emerging Fashion Brand award. Tim Voegele-Downing, creative director at Avery Dennison RBIS, said: “While we saw phenomenal entries from all finalists, Emma J Shipley ultimately stood out. She created not just an electrifying collection but also a powerful brand that helps differentiate her products. She has already secured some very high-profile collaborators, including retailer Anthropologie and designer Nicholas Kirkwood, and this award confirms her incredible impact and potential.”
An international judging panel of 50 prominent fashion designers, opinion leaders and journalists considered designers’ and brands' collections.
