Glasgow University Charity Fashion Show (GUCFS)

Glasgow University Charity Fashion Show (GUCFS) is produced by a dedicated team of students in order to raise funds and awareness for our annual charitable partner. This year, we are proud to be supporting Glasgow's Golden Generation, a charity which works to support isolated older adults in Glasgow. Since our founding in 2014, GUCFS has raised over £128,000 for a range of local and national charities, including the Scottish Association for Mental Health, Simon Community Scotland and Glasgow Children's Hospital. With over 4000 likes on Facebook and a strong presence on campus, GUCFS has become an influential society within Glasgow University and Scotland's creative spheres. As a society, we are dedicated to championing the potential within our student body, encouraging them to innovate within the traditional framework in order to further our philanthropic activities. Throughout our fashion editorial campaigns and the show, we aim to work with Scottish photographers, make-up artists and hairdressers. This year, IN BLOOM showcased the energy of the Scottish fashion scene and beyond. Our 6th annual show raised £43,047.54 for our 2020 charitable partner, Glasgow Women's Aid. In February 2020, GUCFS produced its largest show to date in SWG3's Galvanizers, held across two nights. Promoting the spirit of community and creativity, this event featured designers such as Hannah Ennis, TomboyX, Olivia Jane Riley, Hayley McSporran and Greg Brears. Sponsorship included Sipsmith Gin, Deliveroo, Jaegermeister & Redbull. GUCFS has been published in nationwide publications including Harpers Bazaar, STV, Glasgow Online, as well as appearing on the Riverside Show, The Tab, The Skinny, The Daily Record, The Evening Times and the Scotland Re:Designed blog.
