Harrogate Fashion Week is back this summer
The two-day event is usually held twice a year but has not gone ahead since January 2020 due to covid. It will return to the convention centre in August.

Harrogate Fashion Week is back in the diary as its organisers have confirmed dates for summer 2021.
The event, which usually takes place twice a year, was last held in January 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic but is set to welcome guests on August 1 and 2.
Event director Wendy Adams said:
“We are delighted to confirm that Harrogate Fashion Week will be going ahead this August after such a disappointing 2020 and we are looking to ensure the event celebrates the endurance of the fashion industry.”

The fashion week's fifth edition will be held at the Harrogate Convention Centre, which was transformed into a 500-bed NHS Nightgale Hospital during 2020 but was not used for any covid patients.
The hospital facilities were dismantled earlier this month.
Although the summer show has previously had a July date, the organisers have chosen August to give the centre time to be fully ready for visitors.
Marble, Pomodoro, John Charles and Lily & Me are among the womenswear brands booked to attend, along with footwear labels Caprice, Legero and Lotus.
Sarah Moody, the show's director, who is based in Harrogate said:
“It’s expected to be a busy selling season and many brands have already reserved their stands in the excitement of getting back to face-to-face selling.
"We have had more special occasion and promwear inquiries than ever before, so definitely see a growth in this area.”
