A year has gone by since LFN had its inaugural event and we’ve had some fascinating evenings so far from an “Audience with Sir Bernard Lewis” to the “Power of the Blog”.

To celebrate our first 12 months and our new venue for our monthly soirees, we welcome Tim Danaher of Retail Week and Jessica Brown of Drapers for a special Q&A Evening where we take a look back at the past year and what the future holds for the industry.

Join us and join in at our First Birthday celebrations in the sumptuous surroundings of LFN’s new permanent home, Soho House.

6:30 pm – Q&A with Tim Danaher – Editor – Retail Week and Jessica Brown – Editor – Drapers

There have been a lot of substantial changes over the year as the retail and fashion industry has been turned on its head with many big names disappearing along with smaller independents.  We take a look at what has happened and what’s in store for the future.

Jessica and Tim will also be discussing the big changes that have happened at Emap’s retail publications, including the new shared news desk at Drapers and Retail Week, increased focus on e-tail plus more coverage for independents and brands.

Drapers has always been the fashion trade bible aimed at any one from CEO of a large fashion PLC to a aspiring design student, while Retail Week is involved more in the larger retailers. This is your opportunity to come and question the Editors of the UK’s most influential retail publications.

8:30 pm – After party with DJ set from Elvis Jesus

In true LFN fashion, stick around for a few drinks, mixing, mingling and mandatory dancing:-)

We ‘So-ho’pe to see you there!

Please note: Tickets only available online. Paid places will be noted on the door.
