Fused were proud to present their inaugural fashion show on Thursday 2nd July at Odder Bar, Manchester in association with Not Part Of Festival and Blank Media Collective.

Fused is a collective of young, up and coming Manchester based designers with a diverse range of influences and styles. You can expect to see the likes of tailoring, lingerie, bridal wear, street wear and conceptual pieces inspired by themes ranging from circus to 1950’s fashion to recycled couture. The evening was an exciting mix of fashion and live music celebrating Manchester’s newest creative fashion talent.

“I have been delighted to have worked with a group of such exciting fashion designers through Blank Media’s new mentoring programme. The culmination of months of hard work and dedication will come together at this event which is a first for both Blank Media Collective and Not Part Of festival. I hope everyone can make it along and support, what is hopefully the start of a new Manchester based fashion organisation.” Mark Devereux, Blank Media Collective Director.
