As a celebration of individual and cultural ways of dressing and self-presentation, Cultural Style Week is an inclusive event for anyone who wants to take part. The growing movement was founded in London last year to celebrate and share cultural diversity through fashion, beauty and personal style.

This year, the week runs from May 21 to 27, and people from all cultural backgrounds are being encouraged to take part by proudly wearing their cultural and individual styles and sharing their pictures online with the tag #culturalstyleweek.

The Leeds event at Archive starts at 7pm and will bring together Afrocentric fusion fashion, music and shopping. Ebony Milestone’s Bev Brown says: “Cultural Style Week will allow me to embrace my Caribbean cultural heritage through fashion and my own personal style.”
