Profile is Back – Clothes Show Live

We are delighted to announce that the return of the critically acclaimed fashion event Profile will be taking place this year at the world’s largest fashion and beauty event Clothes Show Live!

This is fantastic news as it will provide designers with yet another platform.

There are limited stands available so if you want to take prime position at this year’s event you need to hurry! Please contact jenni@fashion-enter.com
