If thats not something to be congratulated

Last week I was lucky enough corsets wholesale to attend the UK Lingerie Awards, where the cream of the British Lingerie Industry crop congregate to celebrate their successes of 2012.

A little less of a nervous wreck than I was last year wholesale halloween costumes (which might be partially due to the fact that I took full advantage of the free table vodka), I found myself amongst a lot of familiar faces from the likes of the Moda trade show, various press events and the even spotted odd celeb here and there. Hello Sarah Harding, Danny Jones and TOWIE faves Lucy and Mario!

You wholesale christmas costumes could cut the tension with a knife just before Lingerie Insight Editor Kat Slowe announced the winners of each category, but there was definitely a feeling of moral community spirit mingled in-between the inevitable competitiveness.

Eager to hear the results? Well wait no longer, I nabbed them from the UK Lingerie Awards website: Lingerie Brand of the Year: MYLAMost Innovative Brand of the Year: Made By NikiFull Bust Brand of the Year: Curvy KateNew Designer of the Year: Dirty Pretty ThingsPost-Surgery Brand of the Year: Jamu AustraliaMaternity Brand of the Year: Hot MilkHosiery Brand of the Year: Jonathan AstonShapewear Brand of the Year: SpanxSwimwear Brand of the Year: Pistol PantiesSports Bra Brand of the Year: Panache SportMarketing Campaign of the Year: Curvy Kate for its Star in a Bra competition.Independent Directional Brand of the Year: Made By NikiIndependent Retailer of the Year: Dolci FollieMultiple Retailer of the Year: Rigby PellerDigital Retailer of the Year: FigleavesDepartment Store of the Year: Selfridges UK’s Favourite British Designer: Kiss Me DeadlyUK’s Favourite Lingerie Retailer: DebenhamsUK’s Favourite Lingerie Brand: Gossard.Lifetime Achievement Award:Theo Paphetis Its amazing what Lingerie Insight have achieved. Not only have they become one of the hottest names in lingerie trade press, but theyve created an event which celebrates an industry which for so long laid dormant and unloved within the fashion world, rejected from the Worlds fashion weeks and catwalks, and catapulted it into the spotlight and into the national press. If thats not something to be congratulated, I dont know what is.

And if you thought the Grade 1 listed building Mayfair location and slap up three course meal was good, just wait until you see the after show party pics!

Congratulations to all the fabulous winners and nominees, and of course to the Lingerie Insight team for throwing an incredible event which lived up to its party of the year reputation.
