Dear all,

Yesterday the official judging day took place for Profile 2011. Throughout the day FashionCapital along with the show’s stylist Siouxsie and show producer Paul Swaby at Rah Productions held an X factor style judging day with designers presenting their S/S 12 collections. There was some fantastic undiscovered talent that came through the doors and with the final decision still being made the list of designers will be announced in next weeks newswire!
Profile is already making it into the press. Take a look:
Fashion Insight
The Fashion Studio
FashionCapital.co.uk and UEL are delighted to announce a new state of the art design and manufacturing facility entitled The Fashion Studio which will open its doors beginning of October.
Based at the Knowledge Dock at UEL campus (Cyprus station on DLR) the 8000 square foot unit will enable educational workshops and seminars, sapling and toiling and production runs of up to 5000 units a week, bringing together the concepts of The Workshop, The Factory and our Educational suite all under one roof.
Jennifer Holloway commented, ‘The Fashion Studio is the new concept for the Fashion Industry today. By combining with the outstanding team at UEL, which also includes the Fab Lab service, the Fashion Studio can offer all design and production needs to become London’s manufacturing Centre of Excellence.’
UEL has been working on the new innovative concept for over a year now with FashionCapital and the partnership synergistically creates a learning environment for fashion today.
All machinery is now in place including speciality machines for all types of trimming and top end designer work as well as a computer suite with 15 pcs and Apple Macs equipped with the latest software design packages. We are now just waiting on a 19m cutting table.
Launch date for this exciting new era in fashion is beginning of October – watch this space!

The Latest from British Designers @ FC Bath
Summer looks well and truly over here in Bath and customers have been asking for jackets, capes and knitwear as the temperatures continue to drop. To welcome in the autumn Milsom Place will be hosting ‘Dress to Impress’ an evening soiree open to all tomorrow (Thursday 8thSeptember 6pm – 8pm). Those that attend will receive an exclusive goodie bag, drinks, nibbles, and treatments while checking out the new autumn collections. Tying in with this event British Designers will be introducing a new designer range by Masato Jones. Masato studied at Central Saint Martins and currently works with Giles Deacon and Ghost, his eponymous label is now into its second season and he is definitely a name to watch as he begins to develop his label.
Also arriving in store tomorrow is the established, spanning eight-generations in the business, British label Peregrine. Classic knits and jackets are given a designer twist and we have no doubt that this label will do well with the Bath market.
Alongside the new collections our resident make-up artist Sophie Bee will be on hand to demonstrate the trends and colours to compliment the season while mini massages and hair styling will take place within the other stores around the complex.
Do pop by after work.
