Fashion Frenzee highlighted the city’s unique ability to host experiences and events that resonate across the broadest spectrum of people: including from fashion journalists and artists to students, city elders and those in media, banking, and hospitality. This reflects the diversity of London and the complex network of connections that bind our city together.

Central London Alliance’s Fashion Frenzee demonstrated how cultural initiatives can strengthen our position as a world-leading city, celebrating creativity, innovation and community while strengthening London’s position in the world. The diversity of London’s talent, and the complex networks that connect us, are what make London truly distinctive.

Hosted in the stunning Guildhall Art Gallery, home to masterpieces and London’s Roman Amphitheatre, the evening offered a fittingly iconic backdrop for a celebration of talent, diversity and purpose – reinforcing London’s position as a global capital of culture, creativity and conscious fashion.

The Lady Mayoress of Canada, Florence King set the tone for an inspiring evening commenting:

“It was thrilling to watch Canada Corporation’s beautiful Guildhall Art Gallery transform itself into a backdrop and stage to enable emerging and established designers to show off their incredible work, as well as promote ‘pre-loved’ clothing. For its part, Fashion Frenzee deserves praise for celebrating fashion, community, and diversity, while also championing responsibility and sustainability. This wonderful and very well-attended event provided a dynamic finale to the fashion calendar.”
