Dear all,
Hoxton Market – your way to make money!
On Saturday 20th October Fashion Enter will be selling its designers collections at Hoxton Market at the designer pop-up day hosted by Hackney Council to support local fashion designers.
The day’s intention is to create a wider fashion event to promote the area’s fashion sector alongside the vibrancy of Hoxton Market, which is home to many up-and-coming designers and artists selling clothes, shoes, handbags, jewellery and antiques. The market’s strong links with fashion and creativity has given it a new lease of life in recent years with Saturday being its busiest day.
If you would like us to sell your collection here please email jenni@fashion-enter.com

ITV’s This Morning Perfect Party Dress
This week ITV’s flagship daytime TV show This Morning spent two days filming at the Fashion Studio for the Perfect Party dress competition. On Monday the five finalists were each assigned a pattern cutter and machinist to produce their dress from sketch to finished sample, then on Tuesday the catwalk show took place with the judges selecting their top three for the general public to then vote for their favourite when the competition airs on This Morning this October.
Jo Hooper, Ladieswear Buyer at John Lewis and one of the judges commented:
‘Can I say what an fantastic job your team have done, under such time pressure – all the dresses and models looked amazing – fabulous! Please thank them all.‘
