Being a Londoner, I sometimes find myself guilty of a bit of "Big CIty Short Sightedness". Its the phenomenon where people in London forget that their exist a vast world outside of London. A short while ago I was invited to a Fashion tradeshow and I accepted the invitation just assuming that It would be held in London, much to m dissapointment I releaized on the day of the show that the show was actually in Leeds and I hadn't booked accomodation or transport..needless to say it didnt end well.
Ive learnt from my mistake and now I am always looking for events happening beyond the M25. The Midlands Young Fashion Designer Awards (MYFDA) is one such event. Its an annual event created in Birmingham and aims to expose the wealth of creative talent across the Midlands. The MYFDA Awards have established a reputation as a launch pad for cutting-edge regional fashion design talent. The annual event offers up and coming and emerging fashion designers the opportunity to gain invaluable experience on a professional platform while at the same time unearthing some of the most outstanding design talent in the region.
