Over 85 British brands and designers will be exhibiting this season at Paris Men’s, Women’s Swimwear and Pre-collection Fashion Week, accompanied by the UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT). The British group will be showcasing their latest collections at major trade shows, showrooms and runway shows in and around Paris between 19 and 27 June 2024. There are strong UK menswear heritage groups this season at Welcome Edition and an exciting selection of British swimwear and beachwear brands at Splash!Paris. 

A key marketplace for high end fashion, Paris attracts buyers from around the world and is an established part of the international fashion calendar. Paris Fashion Week encompasses a huge selection of events for menswear, womenswear, swimwear, resortwear and jewellery and is hot on the tails of Milan Men’s Fashion Week which has also seen renewed interest from UK brands and multibrand showrooms this season.    

UKFT has published the key event dates and locations in its ‘Discover British Brands in Paris’ map, a tool to help buyers and the press locate UK brands and designers exhibiting across Paris. Click on the link below to download the map:

Paul Alger, Director of International Business at UKFT, commented: “UKFT is proud to bring a creative and diverse group of British brands and designers to this edition of Paris Fashion Week. Whilst not everyone will be showing in Paris this season due to the fast-approaching Paris 2024 Olympics, I am confident that the group’s contemporary outlook and quintessentially British approach to style will appeal to buyers from major international retailers as well as established and independent department stores who are looking for something different. Vive la différence!” 

UKFT is looking forward to meeting with buyers and the press wanting to connect with British exhibitors at Paris Men’s, Women’s Swimwear and Pre-collection Fashion Week and also plans to return to Paris after the Olympics in September for Paris Women’s Fashion Week.
