Shirley Manson, the rock singer-turned-actress, and Richard Jobson, the punk-turned-presenter and film director became the king and queen of Scottish style last night at a glittering ceremony in Glasgow.

Manson, now based in Los Angeles, flew into Scotland to pick up her award as most stylish female while Jobson, the former singer with legendary Scots punk band The Skids, picked up the male equivalent as fashion industry leaders gathered for this year's Scottish Style Awards.

It was a night when familiar names from the music, film and art worlds joined top designers to celebrate Scotland's fashion at the awards ceremony staged in the grand Spanish Baroque style surroundings of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

The city's own Deryck Walker scooped the prize for fashion designer of the year. Walker was said by organisers to have "an inherent versatility and fearlessness to develop new ideas and concepts".

The designer has worked on a number of collaborations, including those with Harris Tweed and Holland & Sherry.

"Walker's long-awaited fashion moment finally looks to have arrived," organisers said.

Other winners included Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri, who was named most stylish musician.

Manson, 42, former frontwoman of the grunge band Garbage, and now starring in US show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, was said by the judges to have an "edgy and directional style" which remains after a 25-year career "authentic, uncompromising and utterly potent".

She said she was just glad to be back home. "It's even great to see the rain. That's how sad I am," she said. "I do think it's stylish and it is changing really, really fast."

The ceremony was hosted by DJ and TV presenter Lauren Laverne, and those attending included Tracey Emin, singer Sandi Thom and style guru, South African makeover queen Nicky Hambleton-Jones, who presents Channel 4's 10 Years Younger.

She said: "It's really great to be here. I love Scotland and it is a great event to celebrate Scottish style."

It was a night when tartan and kilts appeared taboo. Only a handful of guests parading on the red carpet dared to don Scotland's national dress.

There were perhaps no surprises when designer of the year Walker was asked what he was wearing.

"I am wearing Deryck Walker Harris Tweed and Deryck Walker signature shoes," he quipped.

Jon Fratelli, from indie band The Fratellis, wearing a plain grey Burberry suit, made no attempt to flaunt his design knowledge. "I am most looking forward to the good part (the drink)," he said.

Asked about Calvin Klein, he remarked: "I don't buy posh underwear, ever. Oh God, no. I never have and never will. Three for a tenner at H&M is enough."

Awards founder Mary McGowne said: "This year's Scottish Style Awards was one of the most glittering occasions ever staged in Scotland and lived up to its reputation as the definitive benchmark of contemporary creative excellence."

Glasgow's Black Sparrow bar was crowned most stylish, and the restaurant award went to The Glasshouse at Eskmills in Musselburgh.

The De Vere-owned Cameron House at Loch Lomond won most stylish hotel and The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh best entertainment venue.

Best boutique went to Che Camille in Glasgow and the high street retailer award went to Monsoon.

Johnstons of Elgin were the receivers of the Outstanding Contribution to Scottish Style award.

Now in their fourth year, the awards were founded by Ms McGowne, managing director of Vine PR & Events.

Laverne said: "It's so exciting to be part of a stylish occasion which celebrates the very best in fashion, music, the arts and all things creative."
