As always there’s bucket loads going on in the wonderful world of Fashion Capital.
We’ve been taking all comments on board over the last few months about the look and layout of the site and have been working with a top notch web designer over the last few weeks. The site will be receiving its much needed face-lift very soon, it will take a while to implement over the entire site but needless to say we are all very excited about FC’s new look.
