Purple Riot worked with Manchester Arndale for four years on The Empty Shop, a much-loved charity fashion campaign combining retail PR, community engagement, social media and celebrity support. The campaign collected 10 tonnes of clothing, raised more than £35,000 for local charities and won a CIPR PRide Gold Award.
Purple Riot was appointed by iconic bar and club brand, Mahiki, to raise awareness of their recently opened Manchester venue over the festive period with a Christmas social media campaign driving awareness of the venue, drinks and delicious food.
Purple Riot brought fashion through the decades to shopping centre The Mall in Blackburn, with a live event combining catwalk shows, music, performance and entertainment throughout the shopping centre.
Created for the centre’s Fashion Heritage Weekender, the event celebrated iconic looks and trends from different eras, with professionally produced fashion shows alongside flash mobs and live entertainment, culminating in a performance from Stacey Solomon.
For Vogue Fashion’s Night Out, Purple Riot transformed Manchester’s Exchange Square into a live celebration of the city’s fashion scene.
Love Fashion: Manchester brought independent and graduate designers together with some of the city centre’s biggest retail names for a full day of catwalk shows, pop-up retail, live music and entertainment, giving emerging Manchester talent the chance to share the stage with established brands.
