We're building a directory of creatives across Manchester and the North of England, creating a talent ecosystem spanning fashion, music, dance, beauty, art and beyond.

Alongside it, we're building a directory of local brands and institutions, and connecting the two. Join, and you'll get direct access to skills, jobs, funding and opportunities across the region.

Members can also expect regular events throughout the year, designed to connect creatives with brands face to face.

MFW Creative Academy

Selected directory members will join The MFW Creative Academy, providing professional services at Manchester Fashion Week (9–12 Sept). In return: professional images and footage for your portfolio, plus a staff pass giving free access to all events.
