Festival on Liverpool’s waterfront in July promises kaleidoscope of bespoke and vintage fashions, tailor-made wares, and classic cars, featuring street food, DJs and surrealist street performers

A free festival celebrating independent designer-makers, classic styles and vintage finds, returns to take over Albert Dock Liverpool on July 14-15.

Fresh from the success of the National Festival of Making, HemingwayDesign and Deco Publique come together again to present ‘Fine Tuned’ – a kaleidoscope of bespoke and vintage fashions, tailor-made wares, and classic cars, featuring street food, DJs and surrealist street performers.

There’ll be plenty to enjoy for fashion lovers at Fine Tuned, including hair and beauty makeovers as well as Vintage treasures: Curated by Dotty’s Vintage, the vintage market unites 25+ traders from the length of the country to show off their collections of timeless and classic clothes, homewares, jewellery, watches and curios.

Also featured at the festival:

• Budding style icons and fashionistas should dress to impress, with the Fine Tuned fashion spotters on the hunt for Albert Dock’s foremost examples of glitz and glamour. The cream of the crop will be given a chance to duel it out on the legendary pop-up Best in Show catwalk.
• Up-and-comers: Shoppers will also be able to grab unique pieces from the very best independent designer-makers in the fields of contemporary art, lifestyle products, independent clothing design, beauty products, homewares and more.
• Automobile extravagance: The classic car display on Hartley Quay (in front of Merseyside Maritime Museum) will be a sight to behold – stunning motors from yesteryear that your parents and grandparents will be very familiar with.

Clare Rawlinson, marketing manager, Albert Dock Liverpool, said: “Fine Tuned welcomes some of the best independent artists and artisans to Albert Dock this summer for a weekend of clothes, jewellery and crafts, music, food and entertainment.

“If you are someone with a keen eye on contemporary style or a passion for timeless classics, or you’re just looking for that unique, handmade craft you won’t find anywhere else, then Fine Tuned is the event for you.”
