International design initiative LONDON show ROOMS MEN, a joint collaboration with British Fashion Council (BFC), Centre for Fashion Enterprise (CFE) and Fashion East, takes fourteen of London’s leading menswear design talents to Men’s Paris Fashion Week for SS11, to increase their media presence and develop their businesses internationally.

LONDON show ROOMS MEN launches at Tranoi’s beautiful new venue Tranoi Parc Royal (The Loft) in Paris 3rd Arrondissement (Marais) from 24th – 27th June. The new initiative will enable the menswear designers to sell their collections with the support of International marketing, media and sales advisers. Tim Blanks, Contributing Editor, Style.com and a member of the British Fashion Council's Menswear Committee, hosts afternoon tea on the opening day to welcome media and buyers.

The support offered to emerging menswear designers by the BFC, CFE and Fashion East represents a growing interest in menswear in the UK and is a reflection of London’s quick response to identifying design potential. LONDON showROOMS MEN represents a selection of British talent supported by BFC’s NEWGEN MEN sponsored by Topman, Fashion East’s MAN showcase and the Centre for Fashion Enterprise (CFE) or are special guests such as Christopher Kane Mens and Jeannette’s Pop Up shop.
