The Box & Barbican Theatre present 'Identity Parade' - a fashion show with a twist and a showcase for some of Plymouth and the South West’s most exciting designers, creatives and brands. Come and see their creations on the catwalk as they respond to a range of themes and mix it up with DJs, dancers and divas.
From red carpet couture to amazing accessories, this is a fashion show all about identity: individual identity, community identity and Plymouth’s identity in the world of fashion.
Identity Parade is inspired by ‘Dress Code – Fashion Stories from The Box' (until 4 September) – the city’s first exhibition dedicated to fashion. ‘Dress Code’ spans the 1700s to the present day and includes everything from lace to latex.
There will be 12 runway categories:
Fashion is Forever (Sustainability)
Hiding in Plain Sight (Social Camouflage & Alt Culture)
Electro-cute (Wearable Tech & Neon)
Serving Accessories (Accessories & Footwear)
Historic C’est Chic (Historical & Vintage)
Fishy realness (Sea, Feminine, Water, Coastal)
Off Your Head (Headwear & Hair)
Wet & Wild (Swimwear, Beachwear & Wetsuits)

Serving High Fashion: (High Fashion & Couture)
DressCode (Identity - Being Your 'You')
Live DJ
Identity Parade will feature a live set from DJ Adeevah who uses music to connect, celebrate and spread good vibes to the crowd. Booty bouncing, sweat drippin’ and good vibes is what Adeevah is all about. With a mix of Ballroom, Vogue, UK Funky, and Baile Funk guaranteed to get you living your best life on the dancefloor. Adeevah is also a member of Booty Bass, a collective of female and non binary DJ’s from Bristol and London.
