Designs were evaluated for creativity, innovation, and use of fabric and color by a panel of judges including Sandra Murray MBE, designer; Brian Rennie, creative director, Gant; Lauren Milligan, fashion news editor, Vogue.com U.K.; and Malcolm Burkinshaw, head of fashion, Edinburgh College of Art, among others.
"The entries were clearly inspired by Scottish tweeds giving their designs a beautiful subtlety of color that reflected the Scottish landscape," said Sandra Murray, Scottish designer and competition judge. "We chose the most original and creative garments with a strong, contemporary twist to a traditional theme that would look great on any global platform. It was interesting for us to see what designers outside the UK perceived to be Scottish, and we were impressed by their ambitious designs."
