London looks set to be a hive of excitement and activity this summer, following the announcement that the London Garments Expo and Fashion Enters' PROFILE event will be joining forces for 2012.
The 3-day apparel trade show and catwalks will be held at the Business Design Centre between the 29th – 31st August 2012, and will play host to some of the UK's best designers, national & international retailers and an array of the finest manufacturing houses worldwide.
“This year sees a unique collaboration with the London Garments Expo - at last a true union for the good of fashion! Profile is delighted with this new partnership for 2012; the team are amazing and combined we will put on the greatest event for fashion this decade!” Jennifer Holloway, Director of Fashion Enter Ltd.
Established in 2001, PROFILE is the much needed platform between Graduate Fashion Week and London Fashion Week, and has helped launch designers such as Alice Palmer, Angel Jackson, Hemyca, Samantha Cole London and Elizabeth Lau, all of whom now showcase at LFW.
The London Garments Expo has been and continues to provide a platform for both British & international manufacturers, retailers and designers, allowing them to establish themselves within the UK apparels market.
LGE'11, held at Olympia Exhibition Centre, saw 81 exhibitors from 11 different countries attend the trade event, including a delegation from one of the biggest export associations in the world. The 2011 trade show also saw the De Montfort Contour Design department take to the catwalk, showcasing the very best in graduate design.
