Claudia Winkleman to host Drapers Etail Awards 2010

Strictly Come Dancing favourite Claudia Winkleman has been announced as the host of this year’s Drapers Etail Awards.

Returning after a hugely successful first year, the awards recognise innovation and achievement in online retailing, with past winners including retail giants such as ASOS, My Wardrobe and Mulberry. 

Last year’s awards ceremony was presented by Mica Paris, and The Online Fashion Agency’s very own Leon Bailey-Green was on the judging panel.

Competition is stiffer than ever this year, and it’s going to be a tough battle to take those top prizes. Leon was back again this year as one of a team of judges who put finalists through their paces to award prizes to the Best Customer Experience, the Best Independent Etailer, the Best Specialist Etailer and more.

This year the shortlist includes established giants such as Net-a-Porter and Figleaves, as well as young independents looking for their big break like Pretty Disturbia and Affair Lingerie. 

So who did the judges chose?  We’ll keep you posted…
