THE INDUSTRY
Creative consortium FARBLACK Limited has purchased London’s Fashion Business Club (FBC) Ltd and has renamed Courtney Blackman as its managing director. The driving force behind the success of FBC, Blackman was reappointed with immediate effect and will be instituting several exciting changes.
Fashion Business Club (FBC) has been rebranded as The Industry. Blackman says, “We had an amazing five years at FBC and it is now time to evolve. The group is much, much more than a club, and the new name will better represent us as we grow our offer and expand internationally.”
Along with the new name, there will be a new meeting structure. “The one bit of consistent feedback was that the timing for our meetings was restrictive, so we’re moving the meeting start time from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, to give more members the ability to enjoy and benefit from them,” continues Blackman.
The next meeting is Wednesday the 27th of July at 5:00pm at venue partner, Swarovski CRYSTALLIZED™. Multiple award-winning British singer and songwriter, Kate Nash will be The Industry’s guest, interviewed by top London fashion stylist, Rebekah Roy, renowned globally for her work across editorial, catwalk and music. Kate will be sharing her experience in the music industry and relating how her image and fashion footprint translates to and inspires her fan base.
The Industry will be announcing a suite of offerings to members securing its foothold as the leading forum for the fashion community.
