Hamro Khusi’s motto is :
Inspiring others towards happiness brings you happiness
Epilogue 2012
So … our 2012 events are over.
Brands are frantically preparing yet another collection to showcase in February 2013 but…. what have we HONESTLY and TRULY gained from 2012 London Fashion Weeks to make things better ?
We are all involved in one way or another, either being consumers or professionals of the field and we should act and work towards lifting London Fashion Week from being a regional UK event to:
♥ place it at the heart of the action as it used to be
♥ create a hub of international creativity and events as it used to happen
♥ give motive for our talents to return to UK
♥ create sustainable businesses, UK jobs and…. flying colours for British fashion.
Through our blog we would like to thank all who spent time in our February and September 2012 showroom, meeting our exhibitors.
We would also like to thank all the journalists and bloggers who took time to present some of the Ecoluxe London brands as well as Ecoluxe London and the work we do. We do like to see our name mentioned in the press 🙂
See you on 17 & 18 February 2013 !
