The UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT) is accompanying a group of over 120 British brands and designers to Paris Women’s Fashion Week from September to October 2024, with support from the Department for Business & Trade (DBT). This season, brands will present their Spring/Summer 25 collections at various tradeshows, showrooms and catwalk shows across Paris.

A key marketplace for high end fashion, Paris Fashion Week is the last market of the season and offers a platform for international buyers and British companies to connect and do business. This season, the British designers will be bringing together their creativity and passion for business to offer some of the more luxurious and creative collections in Paris. This complex dynamic between heritage and innovation is reflected in the wide variety of brands and designers featured in the UK group this season.

As part of its Discover British Brands campaign, UKFT has created a map to help buyers and the press locate UK brands and designers exhibiting in Paris. The map offers a comprehensive list of British womenswear and accessories brands, alongside the dates and locations where they will showcase their collections.
