DIASPORA IN VOGUE 2026
Help turn creative visibility into opportunity.
Diaspora in Vogue brings fashion, enterprise, culture and community together in Edinburgh. Through strategic partnerships, we create opportunities for diaspora designers, entrepreneurs, creatives and emerging talent to be seen, connected and supported.
A Growing Platform for Diaspora Creativity
DiV is growing from an event into a platform connecting creative talent, enterprise, audiences and organisations that want to support a more representative creative economy.

| Established fashion show + craft/enterprise exhibition | 12 designers |
| Growing diaspora creative and business community | 30 vendors/exhibitors |
