About The Award

LUXlife Magazine is excited to announce the return of the Style and Apparel Awards, a programme dedicated to honouring outstanding brands, designers, and innovators in the global fashion and accessory space. This prestigious award recognises excellence across a diverse spectrum of style – from high-fashion apparel and artisanal accessories to sustainable collections and tech-powered retail experiences.

A World of Style, Innovation & Sustainability

The global fashion industry is undergoing a profound transformation. In 2025, the apparel and accessory market is valued over $1.5 trillion, buoyed by rising demand for casualwear, athleisure, jewellery, and premium fashion items. Premium accessories – such as watches, handbags, and footwear – are emerging as resilient high-growth segments, accounting for over half of market share and driven by consumer desire for statement pieces.

Beyond product categories, fashion is enthusiastically embracing sustainability and ethics, through the adoption of circular business models, eco-friendly materials like recycled cashmere or mycelium leather, as well as the rise of resale and rental platforms. Gen Z and millennial consumers are powering this change – favouring ethical brands that value transparency and lasting quality over fast fashion. Simultaneously, digital transformation is also accelerating, with AI-powered personalisation, virtual try-on tools, and immersive retail experiences reshaping how consumers discover and buy clothing.

Frequently Asked

When did LUXlife launch?

+

Today, LUXlife is one of AI Global Media’s most popular standalone publications but it launched as a bi-product of the luxury lifestyle sections from two of our flagship brands, Acquisition International & Wealth & Finance. In this respect, we’ve been active in the Lifestyle Sector since 2010; however, as demand for this type of coverage increased, we made the decision, in 2015, to separate the content and launch LUXlife, as an independent brand.


Who nominated me?

+

A large part of the nomination process is driven by LUXlife, we spend a great deal of time identifying potentially suitable candidates within their appropriate markets. A publisher-cast nomination doesn’t hold any more weight than a self, or third-party nomination, they all filter through to the research stage in the same manner. If you didn’t self-nominate the nomination will have come from either a third-party vote via our online voting form or, by us the publisher. We run the nomination process via our website entirely anonymously, prohibiting us to provide specific details. Tried and tested over the years, response rates are always higher this way. As we operate in this manner, we run a very rigorous filtering system and do not directly link the number of votes received with success. We store encrypted versions of the IP address associated with the nomination, allowing us to track unusual behaviour.


I’ve accepted the nomination, what happens next?

+

Once a nomination is accepted, the organisation will be moved on to our shortlist. Shortlisted parties are encouraged to submit supporting materials via our optional questionnaire. This is the perfect opportunity to put forward any specifics you’d like our judging panel to take into consideration before they undertake extensive research for up to 8 weeks.


What are the costs?

+

There are no obligatory costs in accepting a nomination or winning a LUXlife award. In fact, to demonstrate our commitment to this, all our winners are offered a free of charge promotional package. Our company policy will always remain, regardless of budget, our clients should always be able to leverage the value of the award and our seal of approval. We offer a variety of promotional opportunities to our winners. as we have an extensive network and we know, more than anyone, the wider business benefits from promoting industry awards. It’s important to highlight, all conversations pertaining commercial add-ons are conducted after winners are announced, so there is no possibility an organisation can influence any internal decisions, based on their appetite to spend on marketing; this remains our utmost concern.


Who makes the final decision?

+

We have an internal panel who assess those shortlisted. The team possesses in excess of 30 years of experience collectively in researching businesses across a range of industry sectors. The team have expertise and experience across a range of fields including technology, marketing, customer relations, luxury products & services and the arts. The team are dedicated in their research, in fact-checking and mediation; allowing the panel to operate with efficacy and dependability.


When’s the ceremony?

+

We do not gather our winners together to present the news. We’re a little bit too new-media for that! All announcements are made digitally, online and across our network. Hosting events and celebration dinners is an expense we’d rather our clients not entertain. We’d much rather keep the cost of our services and products low, so our winners can choose to spend money on marketing that generates real-world value.


So, what happens if I do win?

+

You get to select the level of coverage that suits you and we set to work to prepare all the relevant elements in time for our public announcement. Our main coverage takes the form of a digital winner’s magazine, but we also offer physical trophies, certificates and varied online packages offering social media exposure. We have a highly experienced editorial and production department who will guide you through this process and give you full control over your eventual coverage.


Why does your email domain differ from your website domain?

+

Because we send a large volume of emails, we separate our campaign email sends from our transactional ones. This structure helps to ensure a prompt and thorough response from one of our diligent team members. The sending email address will always be recognisable but please contact us via the address on this page if you have any concerns.
