Newsletter 28th September 2016
Dear all,
While it’s Ciao Milano and Bonjour Paris on the international designer circuit, here in London we are about to celebrate all things British. Yes, Best of Britannia opens its doors this Friday 30th September and will showcase over 300 leading brands all designed and made in Britain. The Fashion Enter team will be at the 3-day event and demonstrating their pattern cutting and machining skills on garments from June Sarpong’s Ldny range.
Jenny Holloway, CEO of Fashion Enter & FashionCapital said: “Over the last two years we have watched Best of Britannia grow tremendously in terms of exhibitors and footfall, so naturally we are excited to be collaborating this year. It’s even more special for us as we are working with the fabulous June Sarpong MBE who will be launching her beautiful collection. It’s time for the country to fully support the makers of the nation.”
Please come along and support Britain’s niche designers and makers. Friday 30th September – Sunday 2nd October at Victoria House, Southampton Row, London WC1B 4DA
