Prepare your wardrobes, fashion enthusiasts! Victoria Leeds is set to ignite the fashion scene this summer with its inaugural Fashion Week, following the resounding success of last year’s Fashion Weekender.
Kicking off on June 6th, Victoria Leeds Fashion Week promises a sizzling start with a dazzling fashion show set amidst the picturesque Victoria Quarter from 7:30 to 8:30 pm. This captivating catwalk will spotlight the hottest trends of SS24, drawing inspiration from the chic minimalism of the 90s, the allure of sports luxe, and the rebellious spirit of ‘Western Rebel’.
Against the backdrop of historic Victorian architecture, attendees will be treated to a showcase of the latest styles from a myriad of luxury brands and premium high-street retailers, firmly establishing Victoria Leeds as Yorkshire’s fashion epicentre.
But the excitement doesn’t end there! Following the runway extravaganza, attendees can indulge in a ‘Shop the Look’ campaign, featuring exclusive offers from participating brands throughout the week.
As night falls, the festivities continue with exclusive afterparties and VIP experiences. Harvey Nichols’ Fourth Floor Brasserie will host the official afterparty, where ticket holders can mingle with influencers and models while enjoying the finest entertainment until midnight. For those seeking an elevated experience, VIP tickets include a chic pre-show soirée at The Ivy Brasserie from 6:30 to 7:15 pm, complete with cocktails and canapés.
However, the glamour of Victoria Leeds Fashion Week goes beyond mere style; it’s fashion with a heart. All proceeds from the Fashion Show will be donated to Smart Works, a charity dedicated to empowering women through employment support. In a further display of solidarity, Smart Works will host a pop-up shop from June 14th to 16th at Victoria Gate, closing the Fashion Week with a flourish.
Victoria Leeds Fashion Week runs from June 6th to 16th. Standard tickets are priced at £20, including the Fashion Show and Harvey Nichols afterparty, while VIP tickets, priced at £35, offer additional perks such as the pre-show VIP experience.
Victoria Leeds Fashion Week: Inside the Debut Catwalk Spectacle
Victoria Leeds marked a milestone moment with its first-ever Fashion Week, building on the momentum of the shopping quarter’s earlier Fashion Weekender. The centrepiece was a runway show staged against the historic backdrop of Victoria Quarter, spotlighting SS24 trends that ranged from 90s minimalism to sports luxe and a rebellious western edge. With luxury brands and premium high-street names both represented on the catwalk, the event reinforced Victoria Leeds’ standing as Yorkshire’s leading fashion destination rather than just another shopping centre.
Afterparties, VIP Perks and a Charitable Purpose
The celebrations extended well beyond the runway. Harvey Nichols hosted the official afterparty at its Fourth Floor Brasserie, while VIP ticket holders enjoyed an exclusive pre-show soirée at The Ivy Brasserie complete with cocktails and canapés. Crucially, the week carried a charitable purpose too: proceeds from the Fashion Show went directly to Smart Works, a charity supporting women into employment, with a pop-up shop closing out the celebrations at Victoria Gate. It was proof that a great fashion event can be stylish and purposeful in equal measure.
