Hello All,
Talk about events central, what with the On/Off Preview, TBC, Pure Womenswear and all the other various trade shows and events we’ve all been busy bees here at Fashion Capital.

She was well impressed with the raw talent on offer and as of mid-August some of the designs will be available to buy from the Enter Boutique in Croydon, you can’t get any more one-off than that.
