Dear all,

Happy Lunar New Year as we welcome in the Year of the Pig!

We have patiently waited for four-years for this standard to be ready by the British Fashion Council and it’s finally here! Great news and it’s worth the wait. The Level 3 and Level 4 Diploma for Fashion Studio Assistant has been designed to provide learners with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to work within the fashion industry, with a specific focus on working within a fashion studio.

Today team members are attending the ASOS.com Supplier Conference. CEO Jenny Holloway comments: “Without ASOS’s initial support we would not be here today. Their commitment to growing the UK manufacturing creates exciting times for all quality audited suppliers. Really looking forward today.” 

Our first major order has just come in from Tesco over 12,000 skirts. Caroline Ash, Production Director at Fashion Enter said: “We are extremely pleased that Tesco have placed this order with us and we hope to develop an on-going relationship with them. We truly believe that we can be the very backbone for UK retailers providing newness in just 3-4 weeks for new styles and for repeats just two-weeks.”
