2007 marks the third glorious year of Scotland's foremost celebration of creative endeavour.

The Scottish Style Awards were founded in 2005 with the specific aim of honouring the individuals and enterprises who enrich Scottish life in the fields of fashion, retailing, music and hospitality. Attracting major celebrities and other VIPs, this annual ceremony is now established as the most eagerly anticipated and glamorous event on the social calendar, attracting enormous media attention and presenting Scottish excellence to an international audience.

At the inaugural year's ceremony, hosted by Edith Bowman at Tramway in September 2005, the acclaimed Glasgow-based design partnership Timorous Beasties was accorded the headline award for Outstanding Contribution to Scottish style. Jonathan Saunders was named Scottish Fashion Designer of the Year. El Presidente scooped Most Stylish Band - and promptly performed a memorably stylish live set.

In 2006, the chosen venue was Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum - newly reopened after its truly splendid refurbishment. On this occasion, hosts were music presenters Vic Galloway and Shantha Roberts. Cutting-edge digital design agency RM Star was awarded Tastemaker of The Year and DF Concerts was honoured with the special accolade for Outstanding Contribution. KT Tunstall accepted the award for Most Stylish Musician - and the prodigiously talented Christopher Kane was named Scottish Fashion Designer of the Year.

The third Scottish Style Awards will take place on the evening of Friday 26th October 2007 amid the charming and quixotic surroundings of the Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow's Merchant City. The champagne will flow . . . the celebrities will shine . . . and this year's foremost ambassadors of Scottish style will be acknowledged. As ever, this will be a night to remember.
