In conclusion to Paris Fashion Week, Lee Lapthorne says:
GlassWear- If you want to get ahead in fashion - you really need some glasses - the larger the better!
Inside Scoop:
Buyers: Buyers are beginning to feel the pinch of the economy, so if you're a designer and you want to sell, make sure you have a fash forward collection - something that can offers uniqueness and a niche quality.
Who they bought: Three cheers for Steph Aman who sold incredibly well - even at a high price point - with a totally unique and wearable collection. Rizvi Millinery and Delphine Wilson also sold well.
Ends: Paris continues to be the most important city for fashion. With over 3000 fashion brands showcasing during Paris Fashion Week and the largest fashion houses.
As Westwood said 'If you're going to buy any garment - by a designer quality one - one that will last, always suit you - that's sustainable fashion!'
