It’s an event that was started last year to help boost fashion sales during the recession.


Ok, why not some kind of shop handmade event? It would need a catchy name, a date/time, a central website, list of participating shops, sales, giveaways, advertising and a celebrity endorsement or two would be great.

So…..Would anyone would be interested in something like this? Have any ideas or suggestions? Would like to be involved in putting something together (definitely more than a one person job)? Happen to know a celebrity? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
