About This 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.
