MFN is the Manchester Fashion Network and it comes under the umbrella of The Fashion Network. The Fashion Network is a communication company that operates within the fashion industry and works out of Manchester.
Set up in 2006 at has quickly and organically grown into a hub of all things fashion in Manchester. MFN is a communication network that runs an online fashion portal, offers marketing, PR and event support to fashion brands, retailers and designers. So basically anything that needs communicating we can do it. LFN has grown off the back of MFN and in 2008 began networking business events, with like minded fashion industry professionals gathering together for business talks on bespoke subjects.
Below is a low down of the type communication events that MFN have ran:
Business networking talks.
One a month both in Manchester and London, we create a bespoke fashion talk which gives industry professional and students the chance to meet respected industry professional and have unique opportunity to hear them talk about their position and the industry.
These events usually seat up for 100 people (depending on demand) and last for one and half hours, with opportunity to network afterwards.
