Paris Fashion Week had better prepare for a British invasion. Yup, hoping for a repeat of their success at London Fashion Week - British designers including Erdem Moraliogu, House of Holland, Mark Fast, Meadham Kirchoff and Mary Katrantzou will all be showing their A/W 09 collections at the London Showrooms, in a bid to emulate the success of other designers such as John Galliano and Hussein Chalayan who all made their name in Paris.
It’s a sort of school-exchange style programme, where the British Fashion Council aim to export British talent to other markets – and the most recent star pupil is boy-wonder Gareth Pugh who shows his a/w 09 collection in the City of Lights today.
We wouldn’t mind a trip to Paris Fashion Week either…if anyone’s listening?
