While Cultural Style Week makes its anticipated return in May 2024, we're excited to offer you a sneak peek with our pre-event titled 'Couture Melange' set to dazzle on Monday 29 April in the heart of Regent Street, Central London. This haute couture fashion event is not to be missed.
With the valued support of the esteemed University of Westminster, 'Couture Melange' promises an enchanting display of designs from Westminster fashion students alongside emerging, established and international designers. Get ready for an evening of visually spectacular cultural haute couture and culturally inspired fashion designs with a modern twist. True to Cultural Style Week's ethos, this event is more than just about style; it's a narrative, blending creativity with storytelling and narration to infuse depth and meaning into the runway.
“Couture Melange will be a showcase of high-quality, custom-made garments that represent a diverse and eclectic blend of styles, cultural influences, and design elements. We will give designers creative freedom to convey a sense of cultural pride, and the coming together of different fashion aesthetics. I am so thankful for the support from the University of Westminster and look forward to what I know will be an amazing event”.
