PARIS| Paris Highlights - Designer Interview - Eleanor Bolton



What was your initial reason to be a part of the Paris Showroom?
I thought being part of an established showroom with a great selection of interesting labels would be a good way to meet new buyer and press contacts. As a designer doing her first season I thought VFS would attract buyers and press interested in coming to the showroom to see the ‘new talent’ and discover new designers not be solely based on appointments.
