A GLOBAL TV channel is backing this year's Scottish Fashion Awards.

Fashion One TV, which is shown in 135 countries across the world, will be filming an awards special, including coverage of the ceremony hosted by presenter Laura Whitmore.

Held in London's Dover House and co-hosted by the Secretary of State for Scotland Michael Moore, the night will see dozens of talented Scots compete for awards.

Glasgow Caledonian University's British School of Fashion has been announced as the Official Education Partner for next Wednesday's glitzy event.

Beauty brand bareMinerals, Fashion Monitor, Toni and Guy, Auchentoshan Whisky and Tunnocks are some of the other partners supporting the show celebrating Scottish fashion and textiles.

The awards have become internationally acclaimed over the past eight years.

Former winners include Jonathan Saunders and Christopher Kane.
