Alternative Fashion Week is organised by Maggie Pinhorn & Amy Dyke-Coomes, who are the two women behind the arts organisation Alternative Arts.

Other brilliant ideas of Pinhorn’s and Dyke-Coomes include Wisewords, a series of events celebrating International Woman’s Week, and a Shrove Tuesday Pancake Race open to the general public, that takes place in one of the back alleys of Spitalfields once a year.
