The British Fashion Council's National Designer Panel Series in partnership with ELLE UK.

Bringing together leading designers, industry voices and emerging talent across London, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Bristol and Scotland.

Join us in conversation with Mancunian designer Aitor Throup and Naomi Pike, Commissioning Editor, ELLE UK hosted by Manchester Art Gallery.

Make sure to also pay a visit to 'Worn: the life within clothes' showcasing the breadth of Manchester City Galleries’ fashion and dress collection through a ‘slow fashion’ lens with a focus on the lifecycle of clothing. Rosie Gnatiuk, Fashion & Dress Curator at Manchester Art Gallery, will be on hand to answer questions and discuss the exhibition.

Listen to the people shaping British fashion while fostering dialogue, inspiration and new connections.
