The new year is upon us, a fresh start, a time of opportunity, and another year of Fashion Fiestas fashion shows. Countdown the days with us as we get excited for the 7th of March when we will be holding show number 10.
Fashion Fiesta stands for diversity, which is why our fashion shows are so special to everyone who attends. Instead of focusing on established designers, we give opportunities to new designers to showcase their incredible designs and clothing ranges. Similarly we showcase huge amounts of diversity in our models and makeup artists as they show off their up and coming talent.
We are looking forward to seeing familiar faces at our show. In an interview with previous Fashion Fiesta winner Andrea Benahmed Djilali, she states that she will be present at the show this year. She says “I am so excited, I can’t wait, I really like the vibes and the sustainable like minded people in the community who inspire each other and give motivation.”

In an interview with the founder of Fashion Fiesta, Rachel Hatfield, she explains her role “as Fashion Fiesta CIC is to make sure our team and volunteers are working closely together. Still, my secondary role as Events Director is to ensure that our show runs smoothly and on time – that our guests have a fabulous time.”
And when asked if she is excited about the show this year she says “yes, I am looking forward to this year’s show; we’re in a new venue and taking the event to the community, so it’s more grassroots this time.”
Sustainable fashion is very important to us, which is why all of the clothes that you will see on stage have been pre-loved and available for you to purchase.
We are so excited to showcase all of this unique talent with you and encourage you to go to our website and purchase tickets while you still can! You won’t want to miss out on the amazing clothes, models, designs and makeup skills that are being presented.
At this year’s show, Fashion Fiesta is raising funds for 8 fully funded workshops that will happen throughout 2025. These workshops aim to provide new skills and give valuable experience to up and coming fashion designers, models and make-up artists. This will also help them to build their portfolio. By supporting us and this event, you will help to make inclusive and safe spaces for emerging talent as they explore their creativity, gain expert advice and take their first steps into a successful career in fashion.
Come and partake in the raffle which will be available after the show is finished, with lots of exciting prizes on offer to win!
Come and join us in Victoria Hall in Saltaire from 7-9:30pm as we showcase all of the amazing talent and sustainable fashion that will be available for you to purchase.
Get your tickets now… we can’t wait to see you there!
