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.

What did you enjoy about being a part of the Vauxhall Fashion Scout Paris Showroom?

Getting to know the other designers and learning a lot from the shared experience.

How did the showroom benefit you as a brand?

I did make some good new contacts!
