JUDGES ANNOUNCED FOR 2010 JASMINE AWARDS
The Jasmine Awards Committee is delighted to announce the 2010 panel of judges who will select the winners in eight award categories. Chairing the judging panel for a fourth year is fragrance industry executive Catherine Mitchell. In 2010 she is joined by Willie Walters, Head of the BA Fashion Course at St. Martins, designer Graeme Black, writer Sara Wheeler, milliner Cozmo Jenks and retailer Elizabeth Fagan.
Chairman of Judges Catherine Mitchell has worked at IFF, one of the world’s leading creators and suppliers of fragrance, for 19 years. During her career she has worked for the company in Paris as well as an exciting two year term at the global headquarters in New York, She currently holds the post of Business Development Director and, in a fascinating career, has helped develop fragrances for international brands as well as niche product lines. Catherine says she is “passionate about fragrance”.
Willie Walters is the Fashion Course Director at Central St. Martin’s which has turned out some of the world’s biggest fashion names including Matthew Williamson, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen and John Galliano. Willie studied at St Martin's herself in the 1970s. She says: “Students come to us for creative idea generators, not how to design a high street collection.” She feels Britain is where people can cut their teeth in the fashion industry with a freedom to express themselves any way they like. As for Willie’s own style, she doesn’t know exactly what it is - but she loves to get dressed in the morning!
After graduating in fashion at Edinburgh University, Graeme Black began his career as an assistant designer working in London for, amongst others, John Galliano and Zandra Rhodes. Moving to Italy in 1993, he worked as a designer for Les Copains. From 1995 he moved through the ranks at Georgio Armania to become Head Designer at Borgonuovo Black Label. In 2003 he became Head of Womenswear at Ferragamo. He staged the biennial fashion show in Milan as well as one-off events in the USA and Far East. 2005 saw the launch of the first Graeme Black collection and in September 2007 Graeme left Ferragamo to concentrate on his own line. Now based in London, Graeme overseas both the design and production of his eponymous label.
Author Sara Wheeler was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford. Her first and most successful book to date, Terra Incognita, published in 1995 was about her seven-month stay in Antarctica as a writer-in-residence with the US National Science Foundation. Now at the opposite end of the globe with her sixth and latest book, The Magnetic North: Notes from the Arctic Circle, Sarah has chosen to do something different. Part reportage, part investigative journalism and part biography of a land, her book takes in every aspect of life within the Arctic Circle and the communities who live there. Her other books include Travels in a Thin Country; and Cherry: A Life of Apsley Cherry-Garrard.
When Cozmo Jenks was a little girl her dream was to have the largest hat collection in the world. Today, she is recognised as one of Europe's leading milliners having designed pieces for royalty, celebrities and leaders of fashion worldwide, including Jay Kay of Jamiroquai, Kylie Minogue, and Jodie and Jemma Kidd, as well as regular private clients who attend Royal Ascot and take part in the English Summer Season. Her hats are in constant demand by the press for fashion shoots throughout the year and have featured on the front of leading fashion magazines including, Harpers and Queen and Tatler.
Elizabeth Fagan is Marketing Director at Boots UK Ltd, responsible for the Health and Beauty Customer and Brand Strategy. She first worked for Boots over 16 years ago as a Group Buyer and re-joined the Company as Managing Director of Boots Opticians in November 2006. Prior to re-joining, Elizabeth worked for DSG International plc, one of the largest consumer electronics retailers in Europe.
Since April 2006 she has been a Council Member of the Advertising Standards Authority. Elizabeth is currently President of Women in Advertising and Communications London (WACL) and sits on the Government’s Strategic Marketing Advisory Board (GSMAB).
Peter Norman, Chairman of the Fragrance Foundation, under whose wing the Jasmine Awards now operate, comments: “The Jasmine Awards are the oldest established awards in the beauty industry and the Fragrance Foundation is proud to continue the fine traditions of this well-respected awards system. The Jasmine Awards judging panel continues to be selected by a Committee whose first responsibility is to elect a panel of judges whose intellect, capabilities and achievements equip them to judge the literary excellence demanded of contestants seeking to win one of the sought-after Jasmine accolades. We believe that the 2010 Panel entirely fulfils this aim.”
The 2010 Awards ceremony will take place on 9th February 2011 at BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly, London W.1.
