On 16th June 2022 Fashion -Enter held the First Leicester Made Event at the Iconic Athena to Promote Leicester’s Garment and Textile Industry.
The event included dedicated showcase spaces for 30 local garment factories and textile businesses, as well as displays from seven local designers to demonstrate the high standards, craftsmanship and quality of their garment and textile work.
It culminated in a fashion show, celebrating the vibrancy of talent in Leicester. Fashion-Enter worked closely with a local fashion designer Millie and the Mode Collective to co-ordinate, choreograph and stage the show, which included spoken word, rap and some amazing dance routines.
The fashion show featured garments from ten local businesses and seven designers, with clothing ranging from ultra-glam fashion to urban streetwear, displaying the variety of garment manufacturing skills available in Leicester today.
