Cheshire Fashion Week® is officially expanding into Manchester, bringing a bold new chapter of Northern fashion, culture and creativity to the iconic Manchester Cathedral on 21 August 2027.
The move marks the next stage in the growth of the Cheshire-born fashion week and its wider Destination North vision, connecting British and international fashion with some of the North’s most distinctive cultural destinations.
The 2027 showcase will bring designers, models, photographers and creative voices together beneath the historic architecture of Manchester Cathedral, focusing on emerging talent, established brands and fashion with a distinctly Northern edge.
Manchester is a natural next destination for Cheshire Fashion Week. A city with a strong creative identity, independent spirit, and international cultural influence, it offers an exciting new home for CFW 2027 while retaining its northern roots.
“Manchester has an incredible fashion and creative identity of its own, and that is exactly what makes this expansion exciting,” said Claire Namukolo Raven, Director of Cheshire Fashion Week. “Cheshire Fashion Week was born in Cheshire, but our ambition has always been bigger than one location. Destination North is about celebrating fashion, culture and creativity across the North.”
Manchester Cathedral will offer audiences the chance to discover new collections, different cultural influences, and creative talent beyond London as part of the Cheshire Fashion Week mix. Designer applications are now open for 2027, with further announcements, partnerships and participating brands to be revealed ahead of the event.
Cheshire Fashion Week® 2027 takes place at Manchester Cathedral on 21 August 2027.
