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. At showrooms around the city and the key tradeshows, buyers can view brands that are at the forefront of gender-fluid and unisex ranges, alongside those that champion subversive style.

UKFT’s Brits in Paris map helps buyers and press to find British designers across Paris Women’s Fashion Week. This season, it contains a new exploded section, showing the streets in the Marais more clearly.
