The popular sustainable Kirkstall Art Trail Fashion Show is returning for 2026.
Now in its third year, organisers are looking forward once again to showcasing fabulous designs at the magnificent Kirkstall Abbey.
They are inviting 30 designers to take part in the upcycled fashion show. All materials must be second-hand, recycled, or sourced for free.
To inspire designers creativity this year, they have introduced a new theme as voted by last year’s Fashion Show team. The winning theme for 2026 is ‘Dreamscape’.
