· Forest hill Fashion Week 2016
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.
It is a continuation of the Forest Hill Fashion Week that started in 2013 as part of the SEE3 pop up shops programme in Forest Hill – LoveUrLook and SEE Below. The programme ties in with London Fashion Week and ran from 20 – 25 September 2013, 18 – 21 September 2014 and is running from 24 – 27 September this year – attached is the flyer. Past funding has been from SEE3 and the Mayor of London’s Summer of High Streets. The support of funding from Forest Hill Assembly would enable the community festival to have continuity and advance preparation for a bigger and better programme.
The 2015 theme is ‘Creativity, Community and Culture’ - three things that
make Forest Hill such a vibrant and unique part of London. The catwalk event will close
with a special show from Pavement2catwalk, focused on homelessness, addiction, disability, mental health and the elderly.
