UK design talent on show in Paris for AW20
26/02/2020
Some of the UK’s most exciting fashion, accessory and jewellery brands are on show in Paris this week, highlighting the design talent and creativity our industry has to offer.
Sustainability, slow fashion and timeless qualities are some of the central themes of the latest collections, while many combine British styling with international influences.
From classic tailoring through to the reinterpreted femininity, streetwear influences and artisan, handcrafted detailing, the UK group in Paris has it all.
