2011 Sugar Awards: Vote for the Aussie Designer of the Year

We've covered off the international designers that floated your fashion boats already (Gucci and Miu Miu are currently at a tie), so we're curious to know your opinion on local labels too. 2011 was a standout year for both Dion Lee and Lover, each earning rave reviews at RAFW and picking up a slew of international stockists in the process. Lisa Ho confirmed her position as Australians' go-to brand for easy elegance, Zimmermann made us swoon over their dreamy, detailed crochet work and reliably-fabulous swimwear and the always 'expensive' Alex Perry brought red glamour — and then some. And who can forget sass & bide, who wowed the London Fashion Week crowds with their electric take on tribal dressing. Tough decision, isn't it? Have a think, then vote for your favourite home-grown designer of 2011.
