Designers will base themselves in the MADE HERE space and will continue to design and make from the space itself which will be a great way to meet with potential customers and give demo’s on how their product is made.

The Inner City Trust’s FTDC works with young designers through the annual Designer Enterprise Programme and Princes Trust Get Started With Fashion and has collaborated with Youth 19 to invite more young creatives to also take up space at MADE HERE to showcase and exhibit their designs, photography and artwork.

The FTDC is supported by The Inner City Trust and is housed in one of the oldest buildings in the city and is equipped with the expertise and facilities required to support emerging fashion businesses.

The launch of MADE HERE is tonight, Friday 14th June 14 from 6pm – 9pm at Fashion Textile Design Centre on Shipquay Street. Everyone is welcome to attend, and light refreshments provided!
