Rootstein Hopkins Space, John Princes Street - Arrive promptly to secure your seat

A discussion which explores issues surrounding the opportunities available to women to succeed in the fashion industry.

This panel discussion is being held by London College of Fashion in celebration of National Women’s Enterprise Day - an initiative which aims to inspire, motivate and support women across the country in running their own business.

The focus is on confidence building and selling skills. If you are a woman particularly a Mum in Business your job incorporates many roles and there will be some roles that you dread doing – perhaps that is promoting your business, public speaking or it may be the thought of organising an event like a child’s birthday party. As a result of doing our taster, participants will practise and take away a set of tools that they can apply to boost their confidence and shine in whatever situation they find themselves.
