A lot can happen when a team of passionate, creative students joins forces for a great cause, and even the dreich Glasgow rain couldn’t keep guests away from the iconic Barras Market, where the Barras Art and Design (BAaD) venue played host to one of the city’s most exciting student-led cultural moments: The Glasgow Charity Fashion Show (GCFS) theme reveal.

This yearly event draws in crowds of students, creatives, designers, and supporters under the glass roof of BAaD to celebrate another year of fashion and charity. Guests were drawn into the space by live DJ sets, meaningful connections, and, bias acknowledged, the best tequila, courtesy of event sponsor CILLÍ: TEQUILA PICANTE.

There is something underrated about student-led, volunteer-run events going off without a hitch, but the team behind GCFS approaches their work seriously and with purpose. There is a real sense of pride at these events; they do themselves and the creative scene in Glasgow proud. The event was set up to encourage communication and connection, with long tables running the length of the hall, encouraging students to connect with designers, photographers with stylists, an event that truly valued community and charity over ego or status.
