Fashion In Focus

Overview

Whether you're a street style sucker or hang out for haute couture, you would have come across one of the in-the-know panellists on Showroom 22's Fashion In Focus lineup. The speaker series is launching this month and it will see the esteemed fashion PR company presenting insider insights.

The series is inspired by events across the global industry. It will throw open the doors for the public, break down the barriers in the fashion world and start a converstation around topics that inspire us. There is often huge separation between creator and consumer. So, Showroom 22's Murray Bevan saw the need for an honest discussion.

Panellists vary from media gurus to make-up professionals, Instagram influencers to inspiring designers, and snappers to stylists, For the course of two weeks, the six talks will cover topics from sustainability to building a brand.

The first of its kind speaker series will take place at the beautiful new showroom and on-site studio, Symmetry Studio.
