DIARY is delighted to be involved with Fashion Press Week

DIARY is delighted to be involved in the launch of a new press day concept for the fashion industry. Fashion Press Week launches on 3-4 November 2010 at The Saatchi Gallery to showcase Spring/Summer 2011 collections to the fashion press across all sectors of the fashion arena.

Fashion Press Week will host a strong cross section of designer, bridge and high street brands from multiple retailers, e-commerce, department store groups, independent retailers and wholesale labels across multiple product categories giving the press access to the UK’s most press worthy collections all under one roof.

Fashion Press Week’s priority focus is to ensure brands retain exclusivity whilst effectively communicating their core brand ethos to the fashion press.
