Witness Cirque de la Mode: A Three-Day Celebration of Style, Design & Innovation at Derby Market Hall.
Produced by Eredità & aDesso
Step into a world where high fashion meets historic architecture. This August, the iconic Derby Market Hall transforms into a vibrant hub of style for Cirque de la Mode - an immersive three-day fashion festival.
Bringing together regional design talent, textile artisans, and style enthusiasts, Cirque de la Mode offers an unmissable weekend packed with spectacular runway shows, hands-on masterclasses, creative presentations, and industry-focused design talks. Whether you are looking to refine your own design skills, hear from fashion pioneers, or get exclusive front-row access to the region’s latest collections, there is something for everyone.
Event Highlights
Friday: Ignite Your Creativity
Roll up your sleeves with interactive textile sessions. Kids can kick off their morning with a fun design introductory class, followed by afternoon and evening adult workshops where you can bind your own personalized sketchbook or learn to sew a bespoke tote bag from scratch.
Saturday: The Glitz & The Glamour
The centre stage comes alive with visionary Creative Presentations alongside two high-energy, spectacular live Runway Shows. Elevate your experience with a premium Seated Ticket, which includes an exclusive front-row view, a complimentary glass of crisp Prosecco, and a curated fashion goodie bag.
Sunday: Inside the Fashion Mind
Dedicate your Sunday to the business, heritage, and history of style. Bring the little ones to the Sunday Kids Design Class, or pull up a chair in the vibrant Caffè Prosecco for a series of ongoing Fashion Business & Design Talks led by industry insiders throughout the day.
