Paul Alger MBE, Director of International Business at UKFT, said:
This is the largest UK lingerie and swim presence in Paris at this time of year since the pandemic. It is wonderful to see some very exciting and successful UK lingerie and swim collections returning to Paris at the Salon International de la Lingerie and Who’s Next, where many of them first made their international debuts with UKFT many years ago! The offer is not limited just to the Porte de Versailles as Paris is teeming with innovative products in its many pop-up showrooms. Our Discover British Brands in Paris Map is on hand to help buyers and press find these and the other 120+ brands showing in Paris this season.”
