Cultural Style Week
Celebrating cultural heritage through fashion, and personal style!
21 - 27 May 2026
Cultural Style Week is an opportunity for all to showcase and celebrate their cultural heritage through fashion and personal style! From 21-27 May you can take part by wearing your heritage, sharing your look online, attending an event, or celebrating with your community.
We (Cultural Fashion & Arts) are the organisation behind Cultural Style Week and lead on the development and delivery of its UK community programme. We work with community groups, creatives, venues, and partners across the UK to programme inclusive, community-focused events and activities that reflect local cultures and lived experiences.
Five years of
Cultural Style Week
Since its launch in 2022, Cultural Style Week has brought together individuals, community groups, organisations, and institutions across multiple countries, creating space for cultures to be shared side by side and for meaningful cross-cultural connection to take place.
As we approach the 5th anniversary in 2026, we’re excited to build on this momentum and create even more opportunities for people and communities to take part, connect, and celebrate cultural heritage through personal style.
For more ways to get involved, explore events, and sign up to take part, please visit the Cultural Style Week website.
The celebration keeps going!
We’re excited to introduce Cultural Heritage Month, a new month-long UK-wide celebration launching on 11 May 2026.
Cultural Heritage Month builds on what we’ve seen through Cultural Style Week, a growing desire for more time, space, and opportunities to celebrate culture and connect across communities. It does not replace Cultural Style Week, but enhances it.
Cultural Style Week remains the vibrant fashion-focused moment within the month, while Cultural Heritage Month expands the celebration beyond fashion, creating space for food, art, music, storytelling, performance, and community-led experiences.

About us
Cultural Fashion & Arts CIC is a community-focused organisation dedicated to celebrating and preserving cultural heritage through fashion, arts, and storytelling.
We are the award-nominated team behind Cultural Style Week — a global movement that encourages people to “wear their heritage” and proudly showcase their identity. Since launching, we’ve delivered impactful cultural experiences across the UK and internationally, including in London, Cape Town, Leeds, and The Hague.
From fashion shows and exhibitions to workshops, performances and community-led campaigns, we create inclusive, high-quality events that bring culture to life in everyday spaces. Our work has reached thousands through partnerships with shopping centres, Mayor of London's culture team, universities, local councils, and cultural venues.
In 2025, our collaboration with The Mall Wood Green was shortlisted for “Community Initiative of the Year” at the Sceptre Awards, recognising our commitment to inclusion and creative community engagement.
With every project, our goal is simple: to make culture more visible, valued, and celebrated in the spaces where people live, work and gather.
