Achieving the Perfect Fit

When it comes to well-made, quality clothing the importance of achieving a perfect fit is imperative. That’s why we, at Fashion-Enter Ltd, were thrilled when Alvanon, the world’s leading sizing and fit technology company, decided to base their London Fit Studio with us at the FC Designer Workspace.

The state-of-the-art Fit Studio offers a full line-up of Alvanon’s European Standard fit forms, available in men’s, women’s, and children’s, and the studio is available to rent by brands and designers looking to test their fit standards.

The shop houses unique one-off designs from modesty wear and vibrant summer dresses to handmade jewellery.

If you would like a bespoke garment made for you, personalised T-shirts, or just to simply buy something truly unique then come along to 113-115 Fonthill Road London N4, just around the corner from Finsbury Park tube station.
