Victoria Leeds will be running a full fashion week for the city this summer, following the success and popularity of last year’s Fashion Weekender.
Victoria Leeds Fashion Week will begin on June 6, starting with a fashion show staged in the Victoria Quarter from 7.30-8.30pm. Against the backdrop of beautiful Victorian architecture, attendees will be exposed to the latest styles from a host of luxury brands and premium high-street retailers, representing Yorkshire’s leading fashion destination.
A ‘Shop the Look’ campaign will follow the catwalk show, featuring all the brands participating in Victoria Leeds Fashion Week, many of which will be running exclusive offers throughout the week.
Harvey Nichols’ Fourth Floor Brasserie will host the official after party, where access is exclusively reserved for ticket holders.
All profits generated by the Fashion Show will be donated to the charity, Smart Works. This UK-based charity is committed to empowering women, instilling the confidence they need to achieve their full potential through secure employment and support.
Smart Works will also host a pop-up shop from the June 14-16 in Victoria Gate, officially drawing Victoria Leeds Fashion Week to a close.
Jo Coburn, Victoria Leeds’ senior general manager, said: “We’re so excited to bring back the glamour to Victoria Leeds and to host such an iconic event under the splendour of Victoria Quarter. This will be our biggest fashion event to date, bringing our fantastic retailers and brands together to make a week-long event full of exclusive, sought-after and VIP experiences for our loyal Victoria Leeds customers.”
Tracy Fletcher, chair of Smart Works Leeds, said: “We are honoured that Victoria Leeds are supporting us at Smart Works Leeds. Their offer of a ‘pop-up’ space for our next fashion sale is a game-changer for us, as well as including us as part of their amazing fashion show. We are so grateful to Jo for her generosity and we are looking forward to developing our relationship over the coming months.”
