The British Fashion Council (BFC) has announced it is taking over Manchester for a huge fashion event.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Chanel brought its annual Metiers D’Art show to the city, as it took over the Northern Quarter<\/a> – further cementing Manchester as a British stalwart in fashion.<\/p>\n

And now, the city will once again become a hive for fashion and creativity, as the BFC’s City Wide Celebration (CWC) comes to Manchester this autumn.<\/p>\n

CWC is a curated programme of unique experiences and activations open to the public throughout September, which will bring the flair and spirit of London Fashion Week to the North. The City Wide Celebration in Manchester will run from Friday, September 12, to Tuesday, September 16.<\/p>\n
