The Edinburgh Mela Fashion Show
Sunday 8th August, The Big Top,
1.00 - 2.00pm
Included in the Festival Day Pass
The Edinburgh Mela Fashion Show aims to showcase local and international talent, including local graduates and established designers with a range of clothing from contemporary urban-wear to traditional Asian wedding clothing. The 2010 Edinburgh Mela show is shaping up to one of the best ever with newly established fashion events company Unique Fusion at the helm. Unique Fusion have wide–ranging involvement in delivering fashion show extravaganzas for a variety of Melas, including Glasgow and Newcastle as well as extensive experience of Asian Wedding Fairs such as East meets West.
Another exciting development is the sponsorship opportunity which has arisen with The Harris Tweed Authority – selected designers have been brought on board to create unique items of clothing and accessories which re-interpret this historic fabric with a diverse range of ideas from tweed turbans to contemporary evening wear. These exclusive creations will be presented at the 2010 Mela fashion show.
We are pleased to be collaborating with Johari designs who will showcase their summer collection at this year’s fashion show. Meaning “something precious” in Swahili, Johari is a social enterprise that not only produces exquisite hand crafted jewellery and funky, wearable clothing but creates opportunities for vulnerable young women in Kenya so that they can build a living for themselves and their families.
