Fashion-Enter Ltd’s Factory, FTA and HQ in Haringey received a high number of visitors this week (commencing 9th March) for onsite seminars and tours. Led by experienced industry expert, Caroline Ash, here she discusses the groups she welcomed and the insight they gained from the experience…
“We started the week with London College of Fashion students exploring Circular Product Development. Together we walked through the full product development journey, with a closer look at sustainable fabrics, near-shoring, and the use of AI in design and fitting. The group was fantastic—asking thoughtful questions that led to a really engaging discussion.
“We were then joined by students from Erskine College and Winston-Salem State University in the US, who brought a lively and enthusiastic energy to the session. It was a diverse group, so we kept the discussion more general and focused on topics we thought they would find most interesting. They thoroughly enjoyed the session and shared some really positive feedback.
“We wrapped up the week with a return visit from Kings Academy East Hampstead Park School’s Year 12 and 13 business students. We tied everything back to business concepts, but brought it to life with real examples and the factory tour – they could see the theory in action.”
Feedback from the visits included…

“I learnt a huge amount of knowledge in sustainable fabrics, cutting and sewing techniques, and the use of AI in fitting and sampling. It was very useful and informative. Hugely appreciated.”
