When asked about her vision for the future Joanna passionately says "The visionary and inspirational designers: Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, John Galliano, Karl Lagerfeld, Louis Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent are some of the fashion icons that our young designers have chosen as their inspiration. Our vision is to see the day when our young designers are as well known as the fashion leaders we know today."

Joanna Marcella continues, "This event is the only platform in the UK that has given several extremely young fashion designers, who are still studying for their fashion degrees, an opportunity to showcase in New York Fashion Week and Caribbean Fashion Week. To an audience of international Buyers, Fashion Editors, Press and Celebrities, and work with a team of prominent fashion stylists, hair, make-up artists backstage, and the same international models that walk the runway for the noted fashion houses such as Baby Phat, Calvin Klein, Donna Karen, Marc Jacobs, Luella Bartley and Tommy Hilfiger."

This is going to be an event to remember, for both the participators, and the watchers. So you'd better buy tickets while you still can!
