<p>All of your old friends with be across the pond this Friday, as well as a très chic new one: <strong>Valentine Uhovski</strong>, Tumblr's head of fashion, who replaced <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/08/tumblr-fashion-director-richard-tong-rich-tong-new-startup-fohr-card-08212012/">controversial fashion director Richard Tong</a>.

<p>On September 14th, Mr. Uhovski will join Ms. Myers, affectionately known to techies as <a href="https://twitter.com/CBM">@CBM</a>, as well as <a href="http://www.adventventures.com/" target="_blank">Advent Ventures</a> general partner <strong>Frédéric Court</strong>, <a href="http://silkfred.com/" target="_blank">SilkFred.com</a> founder <strong>Emma Watkinson</strong>, <a href="http://www.businessoffashion.com/">The Business of Fashion</a> founder <strong>Imran Amed, </strong>and <strong>Sarah Kunst</strong>, director of business development at the <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/02/ycombinator-alum-ryan-junee-inporia-kaleidoscope-shopping-app-02162012/">street style app Kaleidoscope</a> and Betabeat's <a href="http://betabeat.com/topics/minority-report/">"Minority Report" columnist</a> for a panel and fireside chat called "From High Street to Haute Couture, How London is Redefining Online Retail."
