A moment a long time coming
Here at High Life North, we’re so excited to finally share something we’ve been quietly working on behind the scenes.
This year, we announced we’d be teaming up with fashion designer Somebody Else’s Guy to host Newcastle’s first-ever sustainable catwalk, and honestly, it feels like a moment a long time coming.
Inside High Bridge Works, we’ll be bringing together some of the North East’s most exciting creatives, familiar local faces and media friends for a night that celebrates fashion, sustainability and Northern talent in the way it deserves. Finally, Newcastle will be put on the fashion map.
“We exist to celebrate the very best of the North East and make sure it gets the recognition it deserves. This catwalk isn’t just a fashion moment, it’s a cultural one.“
Laura Kingston, Founder and Editor, High Life North
Inside the collection
The catwalk itself is invite-only and will run for around an hour, showcasing the latest collection from Corey Dixon, founder of Somebody Else’s Guy. Expect bold, one-of-a-kind designs crafted from upcycled fabrics, inspired by local culture and made to be worn with confidence. Corey has always designed with individuality and empowerment at the heart of her work, and bringing that vision to life on a runway in her home city is something she never imagined when she first started.
Five years of Somebody Else’s Guy
This catwalk also marks a huge milestone for Somebody Else’s Guy, celebrating five years of a brand that has gone from a lockdown idea to dressing artists including Sam Fender and Anne-Marie, appearing in Vogue and Vanity Fair, and collaborating with major names, all while staying rooted in sustainability and Northern identity.
For us, this is all about visibility, pride and backing the talent that’s been here all along.
“I’m incredibly excited, and honestly, a little nervous. Putting on a full catwalk still feels surreal. I started this brand during lockdown as a creative distraction, and to see it grow into this moment is really special. I create clothes to help people feel confident and powerful in who they are, and doing that on a runway in Newcastle means everything to me.“
Corey Dixon, Founder, Somebody Else's Guy

The catwalk is invite-only, but we’re opening the doors to the public with an exclusive giveaway, giving two of you the chance to attend and be part of this landmark night. So stay tuned…
This September, we’re putting Newcastle exactly where it belongs: front row.
