2008-12-09T10:46:00.000-08:00

FaCshion the trade buyer and consumer show is back in February 2009 promising a bigger and better show than ever! The first of its kind, FaCshion is the ideal showcase for a fusion of emerging fashion talent. FaCshion has led the way as the very first twice annual trade show that targets both trade buyer and fashionista consumer.

FaCshion will be taking place on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th February 2009 at the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane. Now in its third season, FaCshion has confidently established itself on the fashion calendar allowing buyers, press and consumers to have an exclusive preview of the next ‘big names’ in fashion. With approximately 50 exhibitors and five catwalk shows over two days FaCshion is an ideal way to connect with emerging and creative designers.

FaCshion are introducing a Style and Beauty Zone showcasing all of the latest beauty treatments and products while allowing attendees to pamper themselves in between exhibitions and catwalk shows – making it the ultimate beauty pit stop for a mini makeover, manicure, hair styling tips and much more! Brands confirmed to date include Dermalogica, who will be setting up a skin bar with professional skin therapists offering free Face Mapping for all visitors. The Fashion Academy will also be holding free taster sessions of their intensive stylist courses for all budding fashion stylists.

FaCshion is the first exhibition to target buyers and the consumer market and are looking for media partners who also adopt the same stance when it comes to finding new fashion designers and fashion labels.
