The BDC closed its doors on 7th May

 

 

  Having worked alongside 25 LFW designs over the past six weeks Fashion Enter can honestly say it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences we have had.

Over the six weeks we saw sales of over £15k per week, with each designer selling a least 7 garments from their collections.

Fashion Enter would like to thank all the staff that pulled together to make this project a huge success.  Thank you to Megan Cook who was the Manager and Stefano Lawrence who was the Acting Manager in Megan’s absence. Thank you to Elena Kitsi, Emma Thomas, Tiffany Nogueria, Gai Tashiro and Harriet Roberts, you should all be very proud of yourselves.

Below are some pictures of the close down as we spent Friday, packaging up all the designer garments ready for them to collect.  The shop was stripped bare which was quite sad. The team was thanked by Hannah Mercer of Value Retail and the staff were given 2 bottles of sparkling champagne which was happily received.

Below are some of the feedback we ahve been receiving as well as some quotes from the designers themselves…

“The British Designers Collective was a most worthwhile project, without which we would not have access to a high quality venue like Bicester Village.”

Shueh Yen – Gwendolyn Carrie

“We have long been searching for a cost effective way of setting up a pop-up shop, and so jumped at the opportunity to participate in a pop up shop at Bicester. To be associated with so many great British Designers was fantastic for ME&EM, and sell-through exceeded our expectations so it is something we will definitely be doing again.  The team made the process very easy, there was minimal administration and payment was prompt. We wouldn’t hesitate in participating in the future.”
