Cambrensis, the acclaimed Welsh heritage menswear brand, is set to host an extraordinary event this February that promises to be a landmark moment for Welsh culture, fashion, and philanthropy. The ‘Victory to the Miners’ runway show, taking place on February 8, will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the end of the Welsh miners’ strikes while championing the future of sustainable fashion.

 

This groundbreaking event, which will take place at the iconic Cornerstone in Cardiff, invites attendees to experience an unforgettable evening blending art, history, and innovation. Doors open at 7:00 PM, with the show starting at 8:30 PM. Presented bilingually by Rhydian Bowen Phillips, the event aims to unite communities through creativity and shared heritage.

 

A Night to Remember

 

The evening will kick off with a stripped-back live performance by Swansea-based band Subterrania, setting the tone for an intimate and evocative celebration. Following this, the runway will come alive with Cambrensis’ latest designs and a special collaborative collection with Welsh sustainable streetwear designer Nia Jade. These collections, proudly made in Wales, showcase a blend of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary style, reflecting a modern take on the country’s industrial past.

 

Guests will also enjoy an exclusive networking opportunity post-show, complete with drinks and a DJ set by Katie Owen. The atmosphere promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
