The Manchester Fashion Week returns in September after ten years. She has set itself the task of focusing on aspiring design talents, innovation and sustainability and at the same time to offer brands the opportunity to network and help shape the future of fashion.
The event will take place from September 9th to 11th – in front of the London Fashion Week – and focuses on the pulsating St. John’s quarter of Manchester. Her official center is the newly renovated Campfield, a new creative center in one of the oldest market halls of Manchester.
With the support of the sustainable fashion panel platform and consulting Eco Age, which was re -established in June under new ownership as a communications agency for “Future fashion”, the Manchester Fashion Week is listed by some of the most prestigious pioneer: inside of the industry. These include Carry Somers, founder of the global movement Fashion Revolution, and Safia Minney, award -winning social entrepreneur and founder of People Tree, a pioneer for sustainable and fair trade fashion.
Gemma Gratton, Managing Director of the Manchester Fashion Week, said in a statement: “Manchester has always been a leader in music, in production, in movements. And now it is time to take the lead again by making fashion from scratch.
Manchester Fashion Week: Sustainable practices and technological progress
The Manchester Fashion Week promises to combine the aspiring designer: inside and established brands on a platform that combines Manchester’s industrial legacy with the latest innovation. It illuminates conversations about the textile legacy and spinning of the city, sustainable practices and technological innovations to make the fashion industry future -proof.
The first pilot run is led by industry, with public experiences and cultural events. He will concentrate on three themed days “to merge fashion with conscious innovation,” explain the organizers: inside.
The first day is under the motto ‘heir and future security’. Here Manchester’s industrial legacy is celebrated with the style of the next generation and future innovations. Day two presents ‘health and well -being’ and immerses in a world in which fashion “mind, body and soul” strengthens. High-tech activity clothing, color therapy couture and conversations about mental health are presented in the industry. The last day illuminates ‘technology and innovation’ and how the new era of fashion is “creative, conscious and circular”. It is shown how AI-based design, 3D prototype innovation, intelligent textiles and digital clothing change the way we create, consume and circulate.
John Higginson, Managing Director of Eco Age, added: “Manchester is a Great Britain’s fashion decka. Where else are everyone walking around as if they were always on a catwalk? But there is a fight between inferior, short -lived almost fashion and the beautiful things that you want to keep forever. At Manchester Fashion Week, everything revolves around fashion for eternity.”
Manchester Fashion Week: Return from September 9th to 11th
Manchester was referred to as the “aspiring fashion capital” of the United Kingdom because some of the most famous British fashion brands were created there. There is also the first British fashion creation laboratory that was launched by the Manchester Fashion Institute. It offers companies and researchers access to collaborative robot technology, ‘Cobots’, with which sustainable, high -quality clothing can be produced in small quantities.
The city was recently announced as a new British home of Puma. The German sports clothing brand moves its British headquarters from London in Manchester’s technology, digital and creative center Circle Square and has started a new initiative called ‘R-City’ that aims to invest in the city’s youth. This includes free memberships in the gym, music master class, events and product introductions guided by young people.
“This is not just Manchester’s moment. It is the restart of fashion in Manchester. And it starts here – right at the root,” added the organizers: inside.
The relaunch of the Manchester Fashion Week follows the promise of Laura Weir, managing director of the British Fashion Council to promote and support the fashion industry throughout the United Kingdom, not only in London. It starts with the new BFC Fashion Assembly’s pilot test in the field of creative education, which leads designers back to their old schools so that young people outside of London can find themselves in this industry in the future.
