About: Organised by FashionablyIn,
the event aims to be a tradeshow/

UK, but also in the US, France, Spain,
and Italy. FashionablyIn plans to host
24 events throughout 2020.
Director and founder of
FashionablyIn, Tarun Thadani, said:
“We saw that people spend so much
money on trade shows, and they aren’t
getting value for money, as they haven’t
met valuable people. When people
come to a show, they want meetings
with buyers, agents, press. If we can’t
arrange meetings, we give them the
contacts; we try and open doors for our
clients.”

Event director of Moda, Adam Gough,
said: “With a new decade approaching,
we wanted to bring our focus back
to the faces behind the brands,
collections, stores and build on their
