Fashion SVP has been widely applauded by both, buyers and manufacturers, alike. Meriem Larini, Founder of leading Morocco producer, Société Larimode, said: “As a participant of Fashion SVP London in September 2015, I must express my high satisfaction of the organization of the fair and most importantly, the quality of the visitors and decision makers of all the best high street brands that operate in the UK market.”

This was echoed from the buyer’s perspective: “Fashion SVP is great because you get to meet the face behind the supplier, you get to build a rapport with the supplier, and see the quality of their products – and touch them, feel them,” added Sarah Beatson, Sourcing Manager at ASOS.
