Showcasing local talent in a festival of fashion, design and craft and featuring established and up-and-coming designers, the fashion week is organised by

a group of volunteers with local shops, cafés, bars, other venues and community

interest groups all joining forces to host an exciting line-up of fashion-themed events

- illustrating Forest Hill’s community spirit, creativity, love of sharing and commitment

to high street regeneration.

 

Founded in 2013 by South East London local Louise Brooks, this bi-annual event

builds on the momentum created by the SEE3 Portas Pilot investment to regenerate

local high streets in the area.

 

Previous FHFW events have seen live catwalks and a local craft market at the

Horniman Museum & Gardens. To keep things fresh, we’re organising a wider range

of events giving innovative designers more opportunities to present their work locally.

 

This season features designers showcasing their work in local shops, workshops &

exhibitions, catwalk shows, markets, family events and “FOHO Fash Jams” hosted

by Forest Hill’s pubs & cafés, ending with a grand finale closing concert staged by

the Forest Hill Society in the station car park (more details provided below, or visit

http://fhfw.co.uk/topic/highlights/ and http://fhfw.co.uk/topic/designers/).

 

Local Forest Hill craft store Stag & Bow is hosting a charity event called Close Knit

(http://fhfw.co.uk/closeknit). Starting at 10am on 13 September, a team of volunteers

will spend 24 hours arm-knitting as many up-cycled items as possible in an unofficial

record attempt. Items will be on sale from 18-21 Sep at Clothes for Causes (95

Dartmouth Road) with all proceeds going to One Girl (http://www.onegirl.org.au/) – a

charity supporting the education and empowerment of girls and women in Sierra

Leone.

 

Forest Hill Fashion Week is a family friendly, inclusive, community festival with

something to offer for people of all ages – celebrating South East London’s wonderful

creative buzz.
