The Golden Shears Award
The Golden Shears celebrates the next generation of tailors in the UK. Every two years we host a competition to bring together the very best fashion students and apprentice tailors from around the country and showcase their creative and technical excellence. Entries are selected on technical merit to go through to a live final and be judged by a celebrity style panel awarding three trophies on the night:
”The Golden Shears competition exists to encourage the training and education of tailoring in young people, to the highest of standards and to further the links between the tailoring trade and the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors.
”The Golden Shears is one of my greatest achievements, both professionally and personally. Being in the trade the competition was always something to work and aspire towards... Entering the Golden Shears has been the best decision I have made!
