For the next four days (Tuesday 8th - Saturday 12th April) from 10am-4pm, the fashion pop-up is open to the public, offering an even more exciting range of student-designed fashion displays, stalls, interactive workshops and a catwalk show.

Come along and explore the interactive exhibition crafted by our talented fashion students, featuring innovative and inspiring work from their latest projects.

The collections showcase work from a range of courses from Level 1 through to our FDA and BA courses including our Fashion Design and Textiles as well as Fashion Business courses. Students and staff will be selling a range of their own creations including mugs with coasters, jewellery and clothing.

The pop-up will be located on the Upper Mall opposite House of Fraser within Victoria Centre, making it easily accessible for visitors to discover the future of fashion, learn new skills and support local talent.
