WHAT IS YORK FASHION WEEK?

York Fashion Week is the ultimate celebration of fashion in the gorgeous city of York. This is a powerful collective that comes together with a week of runways, workshops, installations and more.

We exist to offer a stage for our city's creative talent to showcase their work, but also to support and encourage the young designers and brands that are driving the industry forward.

A PLATFORM FOR FASHION IN YORK SINCE 2018

The first York Fashion Week event took place back in 2018 and since its inception has allowed more than 150 fashion-themed events to take place at venues across the city.

YFW SPRING/SUMMER 2022

Taking place from 29.04.22 - 03.05.22 our Spring/Summer 2022 event saw over 25 events take place across the city.

This event also included the debut of both the YFW Independent Fashion Show and the YFW Student & Graduate show - both of which took place at Malmaison York.

THE COVID-19 YEARS (2020-2021)

Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the hard decision was made to pull our 2020 event just a few days before the first national lockdown which resulted in the cancellation of over 50 events.

Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the pandemic a decision was made not to host any events in 2021.

2019 EVENT

Taking place from 25.03.2019 - 31.03.2019 our 2019 event saw us work with brands such as York Mansion House, The Ivy York, Louis Vuitton Leeds, Browns and John Lewis.

Over 40 events took place across the city including runways, workshops, and designer talks.

2018 EVENT

Our debut event took place from 16.04.2018 - 22.04.2018 where over 40 fashion events take place over the city for the very first time.

Brands and venues that worked with us in this show included Bettys, Antonia Houston Couture, Festival of Vintage, Hobbs York and Seasalt York.
