Newsletter 27th August 2014
Dear All,
We are delighted to be involved with this year’s Education Achievement Awards for children in care. The Tottenham Hotspur Foundation hosts the annual awards event and this year they wanted to link up with local organisations to offer something different that will inspire and encourage young people in care.
On 29th August Fashion Enter will be delivering an interactive workshop on the garment life cycle. The group will have the opportunity to create their own mood boards of inspiration and then go on to design an outfit. This will lead into presentations at the Education Achievement Awards encouraging young adults to think about their futures.
More on this story next week.

One to Watch! Caroline Beyll
Caroline introduces her vintage inspired collection:
“I have always loved the flattering form of the 1950’s but I could not find dresses that were right. I understand about quality and being older, yet very young at heart, I wanted fun but sophisticated dresses. I also wanted to be proud of British manufacturing too! So over the last year I have designed and created what I truly believe are beautiful dresses with fashioncapital.co.uk!”
Jenny Holloway CEO of fashioncapital.co.uk and Fashion Enter Ltd adds:
“Caroline always knew exactly what she wanted to achieve and she has done it! After extensive sourcing and ensuring the fit is perfect her collection will be ready to go live shortly!”
Caroline Beyll designs launching soon!

This Week on www.fashioncapital.co.uk…
With the International collections about to kick off in New York our resident trend guru, Katie Farley, takes a look at the London labels to watch this coming London Fashion Week. We discuss the ‘size issue’ and why more skilled pattern cutters are needed in the industry to ensure labels are offered in a range of standardized sizes. And the victims of the Rana Plaza disaster are still very much on our mind as the compensation fund set-up to help them and their families remains less than half full.
Boutique Pick of the Week
This autumn Radley and designer Holly Fulton collaborate once again to create the second ‘Holly Fulton for Radley’ collection.
(The Envelope bag by Holly Fulton for Radley pictured right)
Inspired by Holly’s love of pop art, this new collection introduces bold new silhouettes in a vibrant fresh colour palette. Intense bright blue with hits of mint green and ice white are grounded by deep navy, providing a refined vehicle for the embossed graphics. The detail continues to delight inside each bag with spherical leather embossed coin purses and mirrors to complement each design.
The range will be in-stores from this September prices range from £129 – £279-
