The Business of Fashion Workshops and Seminars!
The Collection – Winter Wonderland
The Collection will be taking place on the 27th January 2012 at celeb haunt Aura in Mayfair.
We are lining up designers to be involved in the show which will be showcased to industry as well as consumers. It will be a night to remember with high fashion, canapés, drinks, goodie bags and one hell of an after-party! The Collection – Winter Wonderland will be a glamourous show of womens and menswear.
We already have the Lauren’s Way RTW collection confirmed for the runway and are looking more designers to be showcased on the runway.
The Collection has been running in top London nightclubs for two years now and every event has been a raging success with guests from the press, many photographers and great sponsors.
The cost of being involved in the show covers the hire of models, make up artists, photographers and videographers.
If you are a designer and want to be involved in this show please contact: jemima@fashioncapital.co.uk with images of your collection for review. For guestlist info please email thecollection@fashioncapital.co.uk.
