The Everlasting Fashion Awards are again. We had a little bit of a hiatus final yr for ‘Dry January’ however I needed to do the annual awards once more, with a few of the hottest classes from earlier iterations, plus a few new ones.
So I wish to know – or quite everybody wish to know – who’s:
- Your favorite menswear model on the planet proper now, and why
- Your favorite product you acquire final yr (nonetheless why)
- Your favorite artisan on the planet (OK why for all of those)
- Your favorite mainstream model (definition: greater than 10 shops)
- Your greatest restore or upkeep expertise (anyplace, ever)
The purpose of those awards is to collect all of the collected data of two million+ Everlasting Fashion readers around the globe, at one time, as a result of it is good to do two issues:
- Present suggestions to all the opposite 2 million+ readers
- Recognise and reward the manufacturers for his or her fashion and exhausting work
Though Everlasting Fashion is larger now than simply me (Simon) it’s nonetheless a lot narrower than the experiences of all PS readers. The issue is these experiences are sometimes scattered throughout many alternative feedback sections. This places them multi functional place.
When it comes to why we selected these classes, the broad model award permits everybody to say anybody they like. The product award forces folks to call a single factor they’d advocate. And there must be one on artisans – in any other case they usually miss out.
These are classes we’ve completed prior to now. I’ve added the brand new ones as a result of I do know plenty of readers store from non-niche, non-#menswear manufacturers, however we not often discuss them. So quantity 4 is a chance for everybody to say which they do most, and why.
After which lastly, we want one thing that isn’t nearly shopping for stuff. A very powerful factor about shopping for high quality clothes is taking care of it properly – so I would like to listen to optimistic experiences of repairs, cleansing, and basic upkeep.
This may be from the model itself or it may be a 3rd celebration, both means the purpose is to assist different folks take care of their issues, by way of first-hand suggestions. As a result of every thing else you scroll by way of simply tells you to get one thing new.
Please go away your nominations as a remark within the part beneath.
These feedback would be the major useful resource for everybody that desires to learn and use this yr’s suggestions. However I can even do a follow-up article in two weeks’ time congratulating the winners (those who had been nominated probably the most) and itemizing a handful of runners’ up that had been attention-grabbing.
I can’t wait to see what you place.
All six earlier units of awards (2018-2023) might be seen right here within the PS archive with a fast search. How we introduced the winners diverse from yr to yr, however every major article has all of the nominations within the feedback part.
