About
​
Step into the world of Dandyism, where elegance meets rebellion, and fashion becomes a powerful tool for self-expression. Participants are encouraged to bring their own outfits, but a curated selection of flamboyant clothing and accessories will also be available to explore your individual style.
This is more than just a styling workshop, it’s an invitation to deconstruct traditional formalwear and rebuild it with flair, individuality, and bold imagination. Whether you're drawn to crisp tailoring or extravagant silhouettes, this is your moment to reimagine what sophistication can look like and on your terms.
We’ll celebrate beauty, uniqueness, and joyful self-expression, helping you to present the most authentic and radiant version of yourself to others on a makeshift runaway.
