Cutty Sark Men's Fashion Awards

Last updated

The Cutty Sark Men's Fashion Awards were awards given for men's fashion design from 1979 to 1989[ where? ].

Each year, a rotating committee of around 50 members of the fashion press met to determine three nominees in each category [1] and was then voted by the nation's fashion press. [2] The award itself was a sterling silver trophy in the shape of a clipper ship, the emblem of the Scotch whisky marketed by Cutty Sark. [3]
