Kelikume Fashion and Styling, in proud partnership with Robert Gordon University (RGU), Norwood Hall Hotel and Raven Aficulrure, is set to host an unforgettable cultural experience as part of Black History Month 2025.

On Friday, the 31st of October 2025, at 6:30 PM, the prestigious Macdonald Norwood Hall Hotel will transform into a dynamic hub of fashion, art, music, and storytelling during the highly anticipated event “Black Resilience: Roots and Rebirth.”

A Celebration Where Catwalk Meets Culture

“Black Resilience: Roots and Rebirth” is not just a fashion show. It is a movement through powerful runway acts. The event will narrate the untold stories of Black heritage and its lasting impact on British culture. Guests can expect a vibrant fusion of high fashion, live performances, and interactive cultural experiences that will both inspire and educate.

Originally founded in Nigeria, now proudly based in Scotland. Proudly featured at London Fashion Week 2023, Kelikume Fashion and Styling is known for its bold storytelling through fashion and its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and empowerment. The brand’s creative director, Joy Kelikume Oziomaaka, is a multi-award-winning visionary, recently recognised with the Creative of the Year Award at the Black Scottish Awards and the Limitless Women Award Scotland—honours that celebrate her remarkable contributions to the creative and cultural industries.

Speaking on the upcoming event, Joy Oziomaaka said:

“Black Resilience: Roots and Rebirth is a tribute to the strength and beauty of Black heritage. Through this show, we aim to create a platform for inclusivity and creativity, while inspiring the next generation of designers, artists, and storytellers.”

Partnership Opportunities

This event offers exclusive strategic partnership opportunities for brands and organisations passionate about championing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Collaborators will gain exposure to a diverse and engaged audience, both in-person and via live streaming and post-event media coverage, showcasing their commitment to cultural celebration and social responsibility.
