Fashion Alliance North brings together Northern universities and industry partners to strengthen fashion education, research, and graduate opportunities across the North of England. The collaboration supports emerging fashion talent, celebrates regional creative identity, and challenges London-centric assumptions around access and progression within the fashion industry. Alongside opportunities for students and graduates, it encourages collaborative research, knowledge exchange, and wider engagement with fashion’s cultural and economic impact across Northern regions.

We run guest lectures and workshops throughout the year, both on campus and in conjunction with external organisations. The INSIDE/OUT lecture series brings together some of the most exciting names from the fields of art, architecture, design, fashion, film, music, performing arts and beyond. You can catch up on previous lectures by visiting the Leeds Arts Research Centre site.
