The fashion industry is a global leader in trade, creativity and innovation, and the value of the UK\u2019s textiles and apparel exports is well over \u00a37bn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">These awards illustrate that Scotland punches above its weight in the global fashion marketplace and that\u2019s something that I am delighted to be a part of.
