ABOUT THE SHOW
The theme of this year’s Fashion Show is ‘Zero Waste’. As a big society we have a unique voice, impactful both on our campus and outside of it. For our third annual fashion show, we want to fully utilise it and give exposure to important issues that concern our generation.
It is common knowledge that climate change, in particular, has been big on everyone’s minds this year. The fashion industry itself is known for being extremely unsustainable and unethical. This fashion show says no to wasteful fast fashion, that manages to produce in access while subjecting their workers to unacceptable conditions.
Fashion shows, in general, cannot be wasteful. A catwalk is only valuable if it tells a story, stands for something. Our show will reflect our own and our member’s concerns about the future of the planet and society. We want to protest the political indifference of our leaders to the incredible waste of resources, which results in crippling fear of wasting our own future.
We want to adopt this globally significant theme to show that even just a group of students is able to host a sustainable and ethically sourced fashion show.

LET’S COLLABORATE!
For designers and fashion brands, the Newcastle University Fashion Society Annual Fashion Show is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of something completely unique, as there is nothing like it in Newcastle.
NUFS will display your clothing directly to the large market of students completely free of charge. As we only seek to loan clothing for a specified amount of time, not to ask for donations, the show is an incredible marketing strategy for your brand.
The ticket sale is also open to the general public, therefore your clothing will be advertised to a wider demographic, not only students. Our previous two fashion shows completely sold out, and we know that it will continue to reach new heights this year.
For peace of mind, the Society also has a dedicated team for designer collections at the show, whose sole job it is to take care of your garments.
From a PR standpoint, we can confidently say that your brand reputation will improve. In the current market, customer behaviour is largely motivated not by price, but by what a given brand represent. You will not only become more recognisable, but align your brand identity with the fresh style and progressive values of NUFS.
