The third edition of Harrogate Fashion Week, which ran from 28-29 July, once again proved a hit with both buyers and exhibitors. The show had its largest number of exhibitors yet, with over 80 leading brands offering a selection of womenswear, accessories and footwear. The event also provided an effective platform to network with the buyers who attended from across the country, with particular representation from the North of England and Scotland.
Harrogate Fashion Week is organised by Sarah Moody, Wendy Adams and Stephen Dixon, all who have extensive experience in the fashion exhibition industry. Commenting on the show, Sarah said: “The show had a really positive feel, and it was noticeable that exhibitors are picking up not just new business, but reactivating dormant accounts as well. This season we asked, Helen, our Marketing Consultant, to go round the stands and talk to exhibitors about what they liked and didn’t like, and it was gratifying to note that, in virtually all cases, exhibitors felt that the ease of showing in Harrogate, and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, contributed to a positive overall experience.”
