Chapter One: our impact report.
On 26 September we staged Chapter One, our first runway show as part of Fashion Britain Bristol and London Fashion Week. Behind the runway were 40 creative roles across fashion, film, photography, modelling, emerging design and live music.
Fifteen young people joined our Creative Futures social mobility programme, including five Youth Guarantee placements through the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority. Of those who shared feedback:
• 100% developed teamwork and problem-solving
• 100% will use the experience on their CV and in job applications
• 80% said it helped them understand the creative roles open to them
Thank you to Boomsatsuma, Gingersnap Models, UWE Bristol, Saffron Records, the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority, Creative Youth Network, King’s Trust, 1625ip, DOTTRR, Carbon Law Partners, Harbour House and Fashion Britain Bristol.
Every story starts somewhere. This one is only beginning. Chapter Two is already in the works.
