Knitted Together Fashion Show is a project led by our studio artists who want to work in textile mediums, design clothes and make costumes.

We've been learning about working sustainably, so we explored the idea of Slow Fashion and using recycled and natural materials.

After six months of making workshops with 19 artists we put on our Knitted Together Fashion Show.

We worked with artists from Shallal who made original music and digital artwork for the catwalk.

We had a wonderful time at the fashion show, performing and showcasing our incredibly diverse ideas and designs with a really enthusiastic live audience.

Many thanks to our funders The Ashley Family Foundation, Henry Smith Charity and Arts Council England.

Please have a look at our fashion show photos here.
