Clothes Show London
The event organisers from the most anticipated fashion event for the past twenty years visited the fabulously stylish new Showroom today. Designers were provided with an overview of the Clothes Show London, the benefits of participating and how it will differ to the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham.
Being the first Clothes Show in London since mounted police were called in to calm the frenzied crowd in 1989, a similar, yet less dangerous hype is generated amongst leading national press including Cosmopolitan, More, Marie Clare and Easy Living. The event will kick start on Friday 29th May with styling and beauty awards attracting swarms of press and journalists who will also be floating around seeking the next exciting top story.
Another load of stands have been reserved today and spaces are now very limited, so hurry to reserve your stand and contact Emily@fashioncapital.co.uk to not mis out on this opportunity of a lifetime.
Change of Date for Asos.com meeting
The ASOS.com product meeting has now moved to Tuesday 3rd February at 2pm at the Kingston Showroom. The womenswear buyer will be on the hunt for the latest up and coming designer collections for Spring/Summer 09.
Please submit images of your collection along with the wholesale and RRP prices to hayleigh@fashion-enter.com and you will then need to also prepare samples if your garments are selected for viewing and all specification sheets must be completed by Thursday 29th January.

Fashion Enter in the South West
Fashion Enter continues to thrive in the South West with yet further developments taking place. We are now currently in discussions about opening up a Fashion Enter boutique in The Triangle, a wonderful part of Bournemouth within its regeneration plan. This will be a lifestyle boutique incorporating textiles, art and interiors. There will also be workshops held in the Library which is located directly next to the proposed boutique.
New Look
Fashion Enter is now also in communications with high street retailer New Look in Bournemouth. Last week a meeting took place at the New Look head offices and Fashion Enter impressed the buyers there with some of our best designers. There is now the possibility that some of our designers will be stocked on their website under the concessions department as well as in the New Look stores themselves. Will keep you posted!

London College of Fashion
Tonight will signal the release of some fresh new fashion faces, as the London College of Fashion Masters Graduates present their collections to the press. Rivkie Baum will be reporting on the event and of course looking out for the next big name in fashion. Rivkie commented:
‘London is known for its ground breaking talent, with London Fashion Week being the destination for those that long to see creativity and innovation; it may have been cut short by its slicker New York counterpart, but tonight will yet again signify that London creates some of the strongest talent we have in fashion today.
If we look around the world, be it to Paris, Milan or New York, their catwalks are filled with our graduates and trainees, who are the most sought after in the industry. So I for one will be keeping my eyes peeled tonight, and I'm sure I will spot some rising stars!'

Boutique Pick of the Week
Spring is definitely taking its time to appear as are the trends; florals and a floaty romance seem to have taken over despite the weather. This gorgeous silk jacket by Simon Wang will keep you warm and looking gorgeous as we go through this horrible transitional period. Whether you wear it to work or on a night out you are bound to look glamorous. It is available on ASOS.com and costs 42.00 reduced from 75. There are only a few sizes left so grab yours while you can!
Until next time, have a great week
