Join us for this evening of boundary pushing live presentations from the world of fashion with two designers leading the way for inclusive, interesting and meaningful approaches. 

Two of fashion’s most celebrated independent designers - Di Petsa & Sinéad O'Dwyer - forefront the body in all its imperfect perfection.

Di Petsa presents a performance ritual honouring Ancient Greek fertility rites through Erotic poetry, spiritual movement practice, sound, breath and transforming garments - reimagining the rituals of union and devotion and honouring the eternal cycle of self-creation and the fertile ground within us.

Sinéad O’Dwyer presents a performance exploring character, embodiment, sex and the agency of garments, choreographed by Grace Nicol. Moving within the work, viewers witness quiet and heightened moments as performers test the edges of sensation and the possibilities that emerge between body, material and gaze. This work extends the lives of the characters that inhabit the brand's AW25 collection onto the stage.
