About this Event

Fashion designer Seguntuyi Mapeganoluwa Onakoya of HOUSEOFTUYI, launches a fashion collection inspired by the Seen and Unseen exhibition and the work of pioneering artist Nahem Shoa, Desmond Haughton and other prestigious artists. Join us for a live fashion catwalk that draws inspiration from these seen and unseen artists, with several volunteering designers such as; Hollie Lesley Haughin, styled by ZK and Gnation, showcasing masterpieces of fashion representing artworks and also lively sessions from Poet and music artist KKC as well as Singer Gabby!


The show responds to the outfits portrayed in the artworks in the exhibition, linking them to the heritage of Black people living in Britain. Tuyi’s own approach focuses on the role fashion can play in the fusion of White European and Black African cultures. By doing this, he challenges the marginalization that Black artists have experienced from the art world. Tuyi takes this idea further by inviting volunteers from the Black community and extending the opportunity to white Europeans to work on the collection with him, inspiring local people to become fashion designers. He aims to build a fashion community that brings creativity, developing the potential for future runways, exhibitions, pop-ups and innovative celebrations, and ultimately creative pride in Hull and Yorkshire
