“Portugal and the UK have the longest
friendship throughout history dating back to
1386 when The Treaty of Windsor was signed
and it is something we are keen to continue.
We recognise the prestigious Professional
Clothing Awards as a well-established event
and are honoured to be part of it. With this,
we’re willing to make Portugal and England’s
alliance even stronger and we believe
that Brexit isn’t going to affect this old and
deeply historical relation. ”
César Araújo, President of ANIVeC and
CeO of Calvelex
“All media coverage for garments seems
to be on what we wear when we are not at
work, but The Professional Clothing Awards
make that all different. Along with all partner
organisations involved and the engaged folks
of the industry, The Professional Clothing
Awards bring a completely new approach
to the scenario. In addition, as a Global
Networking platform, PCA has succeeded to
establish recognition and strong attention to
the entire bandwidth of professional clothes
and that’s one reason why I am very pleased
to support and experience this unique event. ”

in collaboration or on ‘live’ projects, work

and industry alike. It is in recognition of this,
that on behalf of the students and universities
who have participated in the Project 20/20...
and Beyond, that I would like to take this
opportunity to acknowledge YKK, Cordura,
The Professional Clothing Awards and industry
members, for your contribution to the future
successes of the students – who will, as the
years unfold, be among the many who will
shape and create the future world for us.”
Jane Mills, Senior Lecturer at University of

their wonderful support in following The

to expand the Awards internationally

a positive working environment for the
