atria Watford calls on locals to own the runway!
Following a spectacular debut in 2024, Watford’s premium shopping destination, atria Watford, is bringing back its hugely popular Fashion Unfiltered event. This year, the centre continues to celebrate body positivity and the local community, inviting individuals from all walks of life to step out of their comfort zones and into the spotlight!
Set to take place in Charter Place on Saturday 17th – Sunday 18th May, Fashion Unfiltered will again champion Real Fashion, Real People, and Real Life – highlighting the everyday people who make Watford special. In honour of the event, atria Watford is on the lookout for a vibrant mix of participants ready to embrace a unique experience beyond the everyday! No modelling experience No problem – all you need is courage, individuality, and a willingness to own the stage.
Participants will have the chance to model the season’s hottest trends, with stylish looks from top retailers including Levi’s, Mango, Phase Eight, Hobbs and M&S, to name a few. The event isn’t just about the runway – it’s about empowering the community with fashion inspiration for every occasion. From casual chic to power dressing, local fashion stylists will be on hand throughout the weekend, sharing expert advice and free styling tips.
Niamh Crowley, Head of Marketing at atria Watford, comments: “Fashion Unfiltered is not only about fashion, but also about confidence, self-expression, and championing the incredible diversity of our community. After the phenomenal success of last year’s show, we can’t wait to welcome this year’s models to the catwalk and showcase the very best of real, everyday fashion.”
Karina, Fashion Unfiltered 2024 participant commented: “It was an absolute pleasure to take part in the fashion unfiltered event. I was pushed out of my comfort zone, but in a lovely way. Everyone was so kind, and all the people involved lifted one another.
