Mark your calendars!
FaCshion is coming to London Saturday and Sunday, September 13th and 14th. FaCshion is the very first exhibition to target both trade buyer and fashionista in London. The exhibition will host four catwalk shows, a champagne brunch for press and buyers and 50 selected exhibitors over a two day event, held at ‘the creative hub of London’s East End’; the Old Truman Brewery.
