Paul Alger MBE, Director of International Business at UKFT, said: “Paris remains one of the most important international platforms for British fashion businesses. The Discover British Brands map provides buyers and media with an easy way to identify and connect with the diverse range of UK brands presenting across the city, from established names to emerging designers. We are pleased to continue supporting the sector’s international presence and helping showcase British creativity on a global stage.”
The map includes participating brands across more than 40 locations and identifies trade shows, multi-brand showrooms, independent appointments and selected fashion presentations taking place during the week.
Visitors to Paris can access the map through UKFT’s Discover British Brands and Textiles platform and use it to plan appointments and discover British collections throughout the market week.
This season Discover British Brands map has been supported by the Department for Business Innovation Science and Trade (BIST). UKFT would like to thank BIST for their support to the sector.
