As we step into 2025, we at Cultural Fashion and Arts CIC are thrilled to reflect on a year filled with impactful events and outline our exciting vision for the future. 2024 was a year of growth, creativity, and community engagement, and we aim to build on this momentum to achieve even greater milestones. Here’s a look back at the highlights of 2024 and a glimpse into our plans for the year ahead.
Cultural Style Week / Cultural Fashion & Arts at Eid in the Square
In the heart of London, Trafalgar Square came alive during the Mayor Of Londons Eid in the Square event. This year, we shone a spotlight on the rich traditions of Uzbek, Uyghur, and Azerbaijani cultures expertly curated by our Uzbek Cultural Lead Kamila.
From vibrant textiles to mesmerising performances, attendees were treated to a showcase of heritage and artistry that emphasised the beauty of unity through diversity.
The segment supported by Cultural Style Week brand ambassadors captured the essence of cross-cultural celebration, leaving an indelible mark on all who participated.
My Cultural Style Exhibition at The Mall, Wood Green
In May, the My Cultural Style Exhibition supported by Mall Wood Green was unveiled in London by Mayor of Haringey, Cllr Lester Buxton. The display not only celebrated the beauty of diversity, it also fostered conversations about the importance of cultural preservation in a rapidly evolving world.
This initiative reflected a commitment to inclusivity by actively engaging with the local community to identify participants who could showcase their cultural heritage stories through fashion.
The Cultural Style Week Expo
During Cultural Style Week, The Mall, Wood Green, became a hub of creativity during the Cultural Style Week Expo. This multi-day event brought together artisans, performers, and fashion enthusiasts to explore the intersections of tradition and modernity.
From workshops to runway shows, the expo was a dynamic celebration of cultural expression, innovation, and collaboration.
A standout moment was the return of the My Cultural Style: Children’s Fashion Show, where young talents took to the runway with poise and pride. Celebrating the next generation of cultural ambassadors, this event was a joyful reminder of the importance of passing down traditions while embracing new perspectives.
My Caribbean Cultural Style YouTube Premiere
During Black History Month in October, we premiered The Story Behind My Caribbean Cultural Style, a documentary celebrating Caribbean heritage. Through vivid storytelling and stunning visuals, viewers were invited into the heart of Caribbean identity, exploring its music, fashion, and traditions. The film garnered widespread acclaim, deepening appreciation for this vibrant culture.
Looking Ahead to 2025
This year promises to be even more exciting as we create new opportunities to join our growing team and deliver an expanded calendar of events and activities.
Whether it’s through immersive cultural experiences, fashion shows, or educational programs, we aim to inspire and connect audiences across the UK and beyond.
Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming events and collaborations, and join us in celebrating the power of cultural fashion and arts to unite and inspire. As always, thank you to our supporters, collaborators, and community members for making our journey so meaningful. Here’s to an incredible year ahead!
