Harvey Nichols Menswear buyer meeting

Menswear is looking favourable at the moment with good feedback from the Harvey Nichols meeting on Friday 5^th of March. We showed 5 strong collections from a borrowed showroom in Regents street to a buyer, who ended up trying on a pair of shoes! Waxed cotton jackets doing well as a modern take on the Barbour. Harvey Nichols have announced that they are doing a T-shirt gallery to appeal to their younger fashion conscious consumer with an average retailing price of £50.

Associated Independent Stores limited

There was an AIS buying group meeting on the 28^th of February. Buyers came in to look at collections in the showroom that would offer a point of difference and newness for a slightly more grown up market in womanswear.  AIS will be hosting a members only trade show for Spring Summer 2011 showing in August. The showroom is planning of having a stand, showcasing our designers. On the 13^th of  May fashion-enter will be visiting their accessories trade show to get more of an idea of the kind of brands they deal with, in the mean time we will be doing store visits in order to match designers to their relevant market. Look out for more info later on in May.
