Tessuti Fabrics, that treasure trove of designer silks, wools, linen, cottons and blends from the great fabric houses of the world, has watched the creativity and craftmanship of its many customers grow over the years.
We are continually blown away by many of the garments designed and made by our customers, so we'd like to take the opportunity to publicly recognise the design skills and ingenuity of people who pursue fashion just for the love of it. There are plenty of awards for designers and manufacturers already working in the fashion industry, but Tessuti wants to recognise the up and coming young designers and the individual talents and clever creations of 'home couture'.
* The Tessuti Awards is an annual event, first held in 2007.
* 2009 Tessuti Awards will be held on Wednesday 2nd of September starting at 6:30pm.
