From the Designer - Paris Fashion Week 2018

I know it's been a two months since Highland debuted at Paris Fashion Week and many of you have been waiting to read a blog post about my experience.

Unfortunately I had to decline as I was already in the UK, I didn't have the money to spare and it was just simply too late notice. But I kindly asked if my invitation could be extended and they accepted, they continued by saying I could now choose which Fashion Week I would like to participate in so of course I chose Paris September 2018! Oxford Fashion Studio, founded by Victoria Beckham, analyse 40,000 designers each year and invite...
