THE WORKSHOP

This is your boarding pass to unlock the secrets of the skies at the coolest event this summer.

Ladies and gentlemen, photographers and thrill-seekers, this is your captain speaking…


Welcome aboard Flight Club, the only runway where the jets are real, the fashion is cleared for take-off, and your portfolio is about to soar to cruising altitude. Hold onto your aviators and get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey through the clouds without ever leaving the city.


Our flight path takes you straight into the confines of a secret aircraft hangar, packed with classic fighter jets and sleek machines amongst an impressive collection of aircraft that once ruled the skies.


Buckle up and strap in for high octane thrills and get ready to take tailored fashion to new heights! So, stow away your doubts, set your style to airplane mode whilst we prepare for take-off.


This is your boarding pass to unlock the secrets of the skies at the coolest event this summer.


Are you ready for take off?
