FC Designer Collective
The New Designer Collective, 113-115 Fonthill Road, London N4, houses a unique selection of fashion, accessories and gifts created ethically by local design talent.
This retail opportunity is the result of a unique collaboration between Islington Council, Mayor of London (Good Growth Fund) and Fashion-Enter Ltd / FashionCapital.
This shop will allow local designers and creatives a professional place to sell. There are many fashion start-up programmes that provide free workshops and seminars but what new fashion labels often need the most is financial support, reliable production capabilities and direct consumer access via retail opportunities.
