“FashionCapital was set up by Government in 2001. It’s the only site I know that has so much information on that’s there to genuinely help new designers to succeed. Fashion is a wonderful industry but it’s a precarious road for new brands and it’s easy to make mistakes. FashionCapital can help in stopping these mistakes happen in the first place. Prevention is far better than the cure!”
