The founders of a business that helped shape Liverpool’s up and coming Fabric District have called time on the venture five years after its launch.
The Liverpool Fashion Hub, opened in 2018, closed for good earlier this month after its lease in the Tapestry Building on Kempston Street came to an end. It was one of the key businesses in an area that has become increasingly attractive for creatives in recent years - in part due to the work of the Fabric District Community Interest Company.
Gary Millar and his partner Steve Macfarlane launched the Fashion Hub with the aim of developing and supporting creative businesses and entrepreneurs, including those in the fashion and textile industries. It operated in the large ground floor space inside the Tapestry, a former clothes factory that was transformed from a derelict warehouse space to provide a home for a range of businesses.
