The Everlasting Fashion Awards are again. We had a little bit of a hiatus final yr for ‘Dry January’ however I wished 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 this planet proper now, and why
- Your favorite product you purchased final yr (nonetheless why)
- Your favorite artisan on this planet (OK why for all of those)
- Your favorite mainstream model (definition: greater than 10 shops)
- Your finest restore or upkeep expertise (anyplace, ever)
The purpose of those awards is to assemble all of the collected information of two million+ Everlasting Fashion readers all over the world, 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 model and onerous work
Though Everlasting Fashion is greater 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 function place.
By way of why we selected these classes, the broad model award permits everybody to say anybody they like. The product award forces individuals to call a single factor they’d advocate. And there must be one on artisans – in any other case they typically miss out.
These are classes we’ve accomplished previously. 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 speak about 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. An important factor about shopping for high quality clothes is taking care of it properly – so I might like to listen to constructive experiences of repairs, cleansing, and common upkeep.
This is likely to be from the model itself or it is likely to be a 3rd get together, both manner the purpose is to assist different individuals take care of their issues, via first-hand suggestions. As a result of all the pieces else you scroll via simply tells you to get one thing new.
Please depart your nominations as a remark within the part beneath.
These feedback would be the major useful resource for everybody that wishes 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 have been nominated probably the most) and itemizing a handful of runners’ up that have been attention-grabbing.
I can’t wait to see what you place.
All six earlier units of awards (2018-2023) may be seen right here within the PS archive with a fast search. How we introduced the winners different from yr to yr, however every major article has all of the nominations within the feedback part.
