Building on the success of its inaugural year, this second edition brought even more cultures to the stage, runway and market stalls, with vibrant performances, heritage fashion showcases, live music, and diverse trade and community stalls representing traditions from around the world.

The event supported my Mall Wood Green and BID Wood Green also marked the official launch of Cultural Style Week 2025 (21–27 May) — a global movement inviting people to wear their heritage with pride.

This was followed by the My Cultural Style Adults Fashion Show, launched by a powerful performance from Rhythms of the Diaspora.

A Day of Expression, Identity and Celebration

From morning through evening, the Cultural Style Week London Expo 2025 celebrated what it means to wear culture with pride. It brought together fashion, music, dance, and dialogue, offering every attendee a chance to engage with heritage — their own or someone else’s.

The event may have ended, but the movement continues. Cultural Style Week runs until 27 May and encourages everyone around the world to take part  at work, at school, on social media by embracing their cultural identity through clothing.

"I’m so grateful to The Mall Wood Green and BID Wood Green for their incredible support in helping bring this year’s Expo to life. Their partnership made it possible for us to create a vibrant and welcoming space that truly reflected the spirit of Cultural Style Week.

A huge thank you also goes to my brilliant event team — your dedication, energy and hard work on the day made everything run seamlessly. I couldn’t be prouder of what we achieved together.” — Candy, Founder of Cultural Style Week
