Canon Europe, a world-leader in imaging solutions, has announced the continuation of its association with fashion by renewing its sponsorship of the London, Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks.

Under the agreement, Canon will become the title sponsor of the London and Milan Fashion Weeks and a key sponsor of Paris Fashion Week for three years.

For London Fashion Week this month, Canon will be providing a dedicated support centre for professional photographers on site to ensure that all accredited photographers have everything they need, from internet access and printers to a dedicated team of Canon support technicians. In addition, exclusive Canon buses will be shuttling photographers between shows to ensure they dont miss a moment of the capitals catwalks. All visitors to the event are invited to Canons exhibition space, where its award-winning range of professional imaging products will be available to try.

Canon is also principal sponsor of Milan Fashion Week and sponsor of Paris Fashion Week. This extensive support in London builds on Canons previous European consumer fashion projects, We Speak Image and The Other Side of Fashion, which raised thousands of euros for the Red Cross Societies.

Hilary Riva, Chief Executive, British Fashion Council commented: We are delighted that Canon will continue to support London Fashion Week, one of the world's highest profile events which showcases both emerging and iconic British designer businesses to a global audience.  Canon has
become a valuable partner and we look forward to working with them on innovative projects to promote British fashion."

James Leipnik, Chief of Communication and Corporate Relations at Canon Europe said: The power of the image is at the heart of the world of fashion, and Canons leading imaging solutions are used to deliver outstanding results throughout the industry, from image capture through to colour matching and professional quality printing.

The continuation of our successful collaboration with these Fashion Weeks reflects our passion for creating products that help to unlock creative potential in everyone and we are delighted to once again provide extensive support to professional photographers this February to enable them to capture striking images both on and off the catwalk.
