"Profile showcased some great young talent in fashion and accessories, as part of the first Fashion Expo event. This was a great opportunity for these new entrepreneurs to make fresh contacts and connect with both fashion buyers and small production units.
As well as giving the designers great exposure, Fashion Expo workshops organised throughout the two day event, gave invaluable insider knowledge into the industry from many seasoned professionals. This is a great initiative which gives tangible, practical support and valuable exposure at the same time, and I hope it continues and grows."
