From luxury houses to elevated everyday brands, Victoria Leeds brings fashion into focus for its third edition.

Notes on Fashion is a 10-day celebration of individuality, exploring how personal style, not passing trends, defines true fashion.

Because while trends evolve, style is eternal – shaped by history, inspired by culture, and expressed uniquely by every individual.

Our Four Pillars of Style:

The Modern Minimalist

Polished, directional & effortlessly powerful.

Clean lines, monochrome palettes and sharp tailoring shape this aesthetic — built for dynamic city living. Think sculptural silhouettes, refined accessories and elevated essentials that transition seamlessly from business to evening.

The Refined Bohemian

Cultured, relaxed & elegantly bohemian.

Neutral earth palettes, linen layers and soft tailoring create an aesthetic that feels relaxed yet luxurious. Inspired by travel, craftsmanship and natural materials, this pillar reflects understated affluence and quiet confidence.

The Artful Expressionist

Confident, creative & unapologetically individual.

Rich colour stories, bold prints and statement jewellery define this pillar — but always with intention. It is expressive rather than excessive; curated rather than chaotic. A celebration of personality through fashion.

The Heritage Sophisticate

Traditional, refined & enduringly iconic.

Timeless tailoring, heritage textures and classic silhouettes speak to enduring British luxury. From structured outerwear to fine jewellery, this pillar embodies investment dressing , country living and understated opulence.

The Style Pods

9th May – 17th May – Victoria Quarter and Victoria Gate

Throughout Victoria Leeds Fashion Week, six curated Style Pods will appear across the Victoria Quarter and Victoria Gate. Each one with its own distinct expression of style.

Step inside immersive, editorial installations inspired by the world of fashion publishing – where looks, ideas and inspiration unfold around you.

Discover the season’s defining pieces. Refine your style.

The Dressing Room at Victoria Leeds

With Laura Fawcett & Ruth Preston (@wearitlikeruth)

Style and fashion are about far more than what you wear. It can be life changing, confidence boosting and an exploratory source of enjoyment.

In ‘The Dressing Room at Victoria Leeds’ you will get a 20-minute appointment. 10 with Laura who will guide you through an express colour analysis session before joining Ruth. Who, with this new found knowledge of your “colour season”, will share ultimate styling tips for your capsule wardrobe, leaving you with a renewed confidence and tips for every occasion.
