A FASHION WEEK AND THE CITY PRODUCTION – THE FWTC DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
Fashion Week and the City (FWTC) presents its Designer Spotlight at the historic St. John’s Church, Hyde Park Crescent. The showcase brings together distinctive creative voices from South Asia, the Middle East and Europe, exploring how identity, craft and contemporary design can speak to a global audience.
THE SPOTLIGHT
BE ME
Alongside her work in fashion and creative education, Priyankaa Bajaj introduces Be Me — a lifestyle concept built around a simple belief: you should be able to be yourself in every form.
Born from a need for clothing and everyday essentials that move with real life, Be Me is about comfort, confidence and freedom — supporting people through work, movement, rest, travel and everything in between. It is not about fitting into a category. It is about showing up as you are. Be Me is for everyone, because every version of you deserves to exist.
