Back in December I was honoured to be asked onto the judging panel for the first Drapers Etail Awards, to celebrate the successes of online fashion stores over the past year.

Last Thursday night ASOS, My-Wardrobe.com, Mio Destino, Sarah Coggles, Schuh, Radley, Mulberry and Sole Heaven all picked up awards for their achievements in online retail.

Hosted by singer and TV presenter Mica Paris, it was not only a night of champagne and networking but also an opportunity for movers and shakers in online fashion retail to pat each other on the back for an amazing year of growth.

The event was held at Sketch in Mayfair and some amazing dancers got the party started in style.

The team at Mulberry had permanent grins on their faces after winning Best Single Brand Etailer, as did the girls from lingerie website Mio Destino who won Best Marketing Initiative, a deserved award if any considering hours after getting it they told everyone on their email newsletter database; flawless.

The night really went to Sarah Curran and the team at My-Wardrobe who walked away with Best Etail Innovation (the click to buy in the video did it for me) and the Overall Winner Gold Award.

Here’s to another great year in online fashion retail!
