Nearby Alternative Fashion Week

 
 
Alternative Fashion WeekSandwiched between Liverpool Street station and Brick Lane, Spitalfields Market is an area often described as London's cultural quarter. Making it the perfect location to host this celebration of alternative fashion. This event has become an annual date in the fashion diary and works in opposition to London's more high-profile Fashion Week. Recent graduates, independent labels and innovative young designers are offered the opportunity to showcase their creations and to grab some press attention on the catwalks. With 14 designers per show the weird and wonderful fashion theatricals just keep on coming. There will also be a daily Fashion Market where some of the designers will be selling their clothes, textiles and accessories. Alternative Fashion Week encourages designers to create beautiful designs within the current financial climate, so these clothes do not all come with designer price tags and celebrate thrifty fashion in all its glory. They also actively prioritise environmental and ethical sourcing and many of the design collections are inspired by this theme. Alternative Fashion Week also encourages a diverse range of models and offers training to aspiring Naomi Campbells keen to get out on the catwalk.
