Victoria Leeds

POV: My first time attending Victoria Leeds Fashion Show! AD From modern minimalism to artful expression, this year’s show covered it all! Huge shoutout to the brands bringing the energy, the style and the exclusive offers - and to @waxlondonclothing for dressing me. Want to shop the runway looks?

🪉About last night… Wow, what an incredible evening! Our Fashion Show returned yesterday for its third edition in Victoria Gate with a surprise appearance from @operanorth Our guests were welcomed into the evening by a glittering pianist and cocktails from @thewhiskyshop As the lights dimmed, the show began. Opera North’s beautiful orchestra guided us through 4 defining Style Pillars- Modern Minimalist, Refined Bohemian, Heritage Sophisticate and Artful Expressionist, featuring their breathtaking Soprano singer! As the runway closed, the party continued in @habbibi.leeds for an exclusive afterparty celebration 🥂 All proceeds from ticket sales supported @smartworksleeds Leeds in their efforts to empower women. If you spotted something you like from the show, be sure to visit our website to Get The Looks and gain access to exciting #VLFW2026 offers!

ad invite | Fashion icons of Leeds, get ready 💫 because @victorialeeds_ Fashion Week starts TODAY! Yesterday I was invited to a very glamorous launch event to celebrate the start of #VLFW2026. Held at @uyare.leeds we previewed the Fashion Week plans and saw this year’s Style Pillars brought beautifully to life. My pillar? Artful Expressionist (obviously 🫶). All about bold colours, statement pieces and personality. Confident, creative and unapologetically individual… It’s not so much a pillar as a personal brand 🙌 This year’s four Style Pillars are: ✨ The Modern Minimalist ✨ The Refined Bohemian ✨ The Artful Expressionist ✨ The Heritage Sophisticate Each pillar had its own personalised table setting and a curated cocktail to match; the tablescape as a whole was just stunning. I did slightly cheat with cocktails as I swapped my Artful Expressionist cocktail for the Modern Minimalist one… but surely personal style is all about making the brief work for you, yes? 😉🍸✨ @uyare.leeds also showcased its NEW summer menu, with colourful Keralan-inspired dishes that tasted absolutely delicious. This menu was just next level, I was utterly blown away and will be heading back for more soon! And while the main VLFW show is already sold out, there’s still a full week of style moments to get involved with…👇 🤍 From today until May 17th, six curated Style Pods will be popping up across Victoria Quarter and Victoria Gate, plus there’s The Dressing Room with @laurafawcett_style and @wearitlikeruth , featuring express colour analysis and styling tips. 🤍 There’s also Notes on Style Live with celebrity stylist @karenwilliamstylist at @thecutandcraft on Saturday 16 May - this is one I’d absolutely have booked in for if I wasn’t away. I’m gutted to miss the show itself after sitting FROW last year, but I do have a very good excuse: I’ll be in Vienna reporting live from the Eurovision Song Contest. 🇦🇹🎤✨ Will I still be following along and rocking my best Artful Expressionist outfits from afar? Obviously… This is your sign to dress up, head into @victorialeeds_ and find your Style Pillar. Which one are you? 🖤 #V

Today we’re hosting our Dressing Room event with the beautiful stylists @laurafawcett_style and @wearitlikeruth ✨ Laura guides you through her iconic colour theory analysis before Ruth shares fashion styling advice to help you build a confident, versatile capsule wardrobe! Walk-In slots are now booked up, but you still have chance to reserve a ticket for our exciting event with celeb stylist @karenwilliamstylist ! Book via our website 👠
