More good news. The Bluewater Boutique sales are continuing to go through the roof to such an extent that we are now planning a consumer fashion show on February 10th and 11th. Here shoppers will be able to meet and greet designers showcasing at the boutique and a catwalk show lasting 20 minutes will be available during the course of the two days. Only designers selling at the Bluewater boutique will be exhibited at the fashion show.
It still gets better! Nick Fenner our legal eagle from Fladgate is now setting up a legal answers and questions forum on the www.fashioncapital.co.uk site. In addition Nick will be able to offer a free half an hour consultation period for designers experiencing any legal shenanigans.

And finally the LFF are now working collaboratively with Fashion Monitor – the ONLY real directory for the fashion industry. We are working on a host of new ideas together and watch this space for more information! Many thanks to a highly productive meeting with Emily Fleuriot and Jo Nicholls at the beginning of this week!
So, along with the revamp of the LFF magazine, it’s been a busy old week – and I thought it would be easier in the public sector side! High street buying is a breeze in comparison!
Keep logging into FashionCapital this week. As developments unfold they will be posted on both www.fashincapital.co.uk and also www.lffonline.com.
Have a great week ahead.
