Spring Fair introduces The Style Atelier: a new stage dedicated to the future of fashion and hosted by broadcaster, fashion commentator, and sustainability advocate Caryn Franklin MBE.
Running from February 1 to February 4 at NEC Birmingham, The Style Atelier will celebrate the craft of fashion and the power of individuality, offering visitors insight into the ideas shaping tomorrow’s fashion retail landscape.
Highlights include:
- Trend Forecasting: Key colours, materials, and movements for upcoming seasons.
- Styling Masterclasses: Professional development sessions led by top stylists and fashion directors.
- Keynote Interviews: Candid conversations with icons and pioneers defining the future of fashion retail.
- Showcases & Networking Receptions: Live photoshoots, mini-runways, and dynamic presentations.
Caryn Franklin MBE said: “I’m delighted to be the host of The Style Atelier at Spring Fair, a space where creativity, conscience and commerce meet. As we explore the future of fashion together, it’s vital that we celebrate not only aesthetic innovation but also the growing movement towards ethical and sustainable practice. The Style Atelier invites modern makers to connect, question and reimagine what style can mean in a world that values responsibility as much as beautiful design. I look forward to welcoming everyone ready to be inspired by the next chapter of conscious fashion.”
The Style Atelier is located within the newly created Fashion at Spring Fair destination – which brings apparel, accessories, and jewellery together, connecting established and emerging brands with retailers ready to curate their new collections.
Across four days, buyers and brands will have the opportunity to collaborate and uncover what’s next in fashion retail. The Style Atelier adds a powerful new dimension to this journey, offering the insight, energy, and inspiration that turn products into stories and trends into opportunity.
