LONDON, September 29, 2014 – Marie Claire, the premium fashion glossy, is launching a new awards event to celebrate the year’s most inspirational and innovative young women.

 

The Marie Claire Women @ the Top Awards, in association with Schwarzkopf, will honour ten female trailblazers and role models for young women today.

 

The awards are the newest addition to Marie Claire @ Work – the brand’s multi-platform careers initiative – which encourages readers to achieve their career goals. Building on the mentoring campaign the brand launched back in 2010, Marie Claire @ Work now encompasses a bi-annual print supplement and monthly feature in the magazine, an online careers resource, MC@Work, and reader events.

 

Trish Halpin, Marie Claire editor-in-chief, says: “Marie Claire is the fashion title that inspires women to think smart and look amazing. It’s an honour to launch these awards, which will put a spotlight on incredible women making an impact on the world through their talent, determination and vision.”

 

The Marie Claire Women @ the Top Awards will take place on October 1 at an evening event at the Rosewood Hotel, High Holborn. Winners will be featured in the November issue of Marie Claire on sale 2 October.
