There are many fashion start-up programmes that provide free workshops and seminars but what new fashion labels often need the most is financial support, reliable production capabilities and direct consumer access via retail opportunities. We have been fortunate enough over the years to have collaborated with local councils on providing retail outlets for up and coming designers to showcase and sell their work. Previous FC shops have been situated in Bath, Bicester Village, Bluewater, Carnaby Street, Croydon Centrale, Barking and Marylebone.

The latest FC Designer Collective shop is now open in the London Borough of Islington. Situated on Fonthill Road, London N4, the shop houses a unique selection of fashion, accessories and gifts alongside fabrics, haberdashery and an onsite bespoke service.

This retail opportunity is the result of a unique collaboration between Islington Council, Mayor of London (Good Growth Fund) and Fashion-Enter Ltd / FashionCapital. Local designers and start-ups now have the chance for their items to be stocked and sold while offering the public products that are locally made and unique. The shop will also act as a creative hub with in-house making facilities, regular meet-ups, seminars and events.

If you are based in the North London area and would like to be a part of this exciting and local initiative please contact: jenni@fashion-enter.com for further information or to book a consultation.
