Community Based Fashion Week Networking Event

Fashion in Manchester is built on Northern grit, second-hand hauls, and DIY ingenuity - not corporate fast-fashion greenwashing or elitist runways. We’re throwing open the doors for a night of raw, unfiltered panels, genuine connections, and zero snobbery. We’re calling out taboos, breaking down the gatekeeping barriers of the industry, and centering the voices who actually make this city's scene thrive: working class creatives, migrant designers, disabled makers, fat stylists, veteran vintage traders, . Whether you’re an established tailor, an aspiring stylist, or just someone who cares about ethically clad bodies, this room is for you. Come break bread, talk shop, and build a sustainable, hyper-local fashion ecosystem that doesn't cost the Earth or exclude our communities. Come as you are, and be whoever you want to be, let's change the conversation VENUE: Band On The Wall 25 Swan Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, GB M4 5JZ WHATS ON: Presentations on the subjects of personal style and the future of fashion Panelist discussions on the subjects to follow NETWORKING and connecting with manchester fashion creatives DJS Free Repairs with FROCK PAPER SCISSORS (Buttons, quick stitches, hole repairs) More TBD This is a fundraiser event in aid of MASH which is a local organization that works closely with female sex workers to promote sexual health, wellbeing and personal safety, whilst offering choice, support and empowerment to encourage positive life changes.
