Buyers repeatedly comment on how important it is to be among the Four Halls, and how speaking to brands and viewing the collections in person enables them to curate collections with confidence. And with so many new names entering the market, staying ahead of competitors means attending HFW! “Seeing the mix of brands coming together for the February line up has been incredibly exciting. The line up is full of well-known favourites and new faces bringing a fresh energy to the show, exactly what our buyers need when planning their new collections.” Says Event Director, Georgia Flynn, “The new look we recently revealed for the season has also added to the buzz, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Harrogate in just a couple of months.” Alongside the buying, Harrogate Fashion Week offers a standout social scene, with a strong sense of community it’s well known for, and set in the beautiful Spa Town of Harrogate - it’s the perfect backdrop for catching up with old friends and making new connections over drinks and dinner in one of the town’s many bars and restaurants. “It’s probably the best fashion trade show that there is,” said Deborah McDermott from Velvet Ladieswear in Ramsbottom, harrogatefashionweek.com.
