The Business of Fashion – workshops for designers
The Collection
The Collection was highly successful on Friday 27th January with three film crews attending, a host of press and fashionistas that caused a queue to form outside the venue!
The catwalk show was the best yet with high calibre models and beautiful designs from: Cristina Adami, TCA Couture, Bad London, Belles of London and Lauren’s Collection.
‘I went to The Collection on Friday night at Aura and it was inspiring to see the work of new and emerging designers all networking together. Now I have started my own label I can really appreciate how hard these designers work. I always support new business start-ups especially after winning The Apprentice’ Stella English

Meet Fashion Intern Zane Spalvina
My name is Zane Spalvina. ‘I am a student from Latvia. I’m studying International Relations of Economics at Riga Technical University and today is my first day at Fashion Enter as an intern. Right now is my third course in this spring semester and from 1st February till 31st May I have my internship. I have already applied and been approved for a scholarship program ERASMUS and that’s why I chose to come to London. I especially wanted to work my internship in the business category which is related to fashion because I enjoy it and l already have 10 years experience of making my own clothes. I hope that I will use and get to improve my knowledge at Fashion Enter learning about international fashion in business as well as learning about models, patterns and fashion in general. As there is a saying ”Fashion is my passion”. I am very excited to be working at Fashion Enter at The Workshop.
