'I am very enthusiastic to be involved with an initiative from ‘Fashion-Enter'. The fabulous projects that Fashion-Enter have conducted with new and young designers is very inspiring. Year 9's at City of London Academy – Islington are looking forward to the upcoming seminar.
A special presentation display space has been prepared ready for showcase of exciting work created during the morning seminar by ‘Fashion-Enter' on Thursday 18th December with 9Y/Te4 and 9X/Te4.
I hope the morning will be the start to a longer project with ‘Fashion-Enter'. I look forward to the next step'.
