Fashion for divas and fashionistas

28th April- The Gala show’s Programme is full of new and attention-grabbing presentations. One of our highlights will be the Catwalk fashion show by an incredible designer, Asakeoge. The Nigerian rooted fashion designer has blown away some of London’s runway fashion show and achieved several awards for her great work.

Some of you may know her name from different fashion outlets such as the Guardian or Miss Ebene Magazine, though her brand has been more notable for her recent collection in African Fashion Week New York of July 2011.

Asake, whose taste in fashion unraveled at 8 years of age, has self-built into world star fashion icon whose work touches on identity and African ethnicity. Her exclusive pieces, which enhance the shape and beauty of women while presented in bold colours and prints are phenomenal. Interestingly her style is carried from her roots, though she has been intensely influenced by British Tailoring.

Book your tickets now to this see this amazing Catwalk. This one time opportunity assures you that you don’t have exhaust yourself crumbling for pricy Fashion Week tickets, instead you will participate in this very intimate event which will give you access to behind the scenes process of preparation and an opportunity to speak to and learn from the Designer!

Our Partners

Edge of the City are partners with a non-profit organisation called Peoples Voice, as well as HerCentre (http://www.hercentre.org/).

HerCentre is a charity which strives to make a difference in women’s lives and have been working closely with us bringing extraordinary memories for this year’s project.

Thursday 8th March marked International Women’s day. To celebrate this HerCentre invited many women around London together to unite and celebrate womanhood at Woolwich Town Hall.

We were taken through emotions as we heard people’s experiences of womanhood, but were suddenly enlightened by international dishes, fun activities and crafts workshops that followed.

Mathew Hawkins filmmaker at Edge of the City made a short film presentation which was led by several interesting comments concerning characters and the storyline.

Jessica 22, commented “I really like the concept of human experience because everyone can relate to it. Overall I have developed a sudden interest in film.

Soon after the short film the day was finalized with a dance work shop. StepZ workshop comprised of warm-ups and short easy routines.

Our partnership with HerCentre charity allowed many women to have this life changing experience. Edge of the City hopes to work with new organizations that will bring live events, opening days and short trips in the coming year.
