Fashion North

FASHION NORTH // NORTHERN CREATE is a grass roots, community driven, community focus project, designed to give students and the local community the opportunity to showcase their creative works and develop creative skills.

The show will act as a platform and a tool for career development and progression, as well as acting as a focal point and catalyst for creative circles and industry networks in the region.

THERE ARE NO COMPETITIONS, NO PRIZES, NO HOOPS TO JUMP THROUGH, NO BOXES TO TICK.

This exciting project is designed to strip back the corporate and highly commercialised reality of most fashion and creative showcases, and reinvent how we present new talent, reflecting the wishes of those who are sharing their works and collections.

FROM START TO FINISH THIS PROJECT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL.

The project has been entirely born of the hopes and wishes of the students and artisits involved, reflecting how they want their work to be seen by peers and industry representatives, rather than through any given prescribed routes.

THE PROJECT HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH EACH AND EVERY PERSON IN MIND AND ALL CONTRIBUTORS HAVE BEEN AWARE OF EVERY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
