About
N° 27FashionwithPurpose.
The University of St Andrews' annual charity fashion show, entirely student-run since its revival.
( 01 )Our Mission
CATWALK exists at the intersection of creativity and compassion, proving that the most powerful art is art that gives something back.
( 02 )History
CATWALK began as a student-led initiative to merge the creative energy of the University of St Andrews with the transformative power of charitable giving. After its revival, it has grown year on year, becoming one of the most anticipated events in the St Andrews calendar.
What began as a small-scale event has evolved into a major production: a fully designed runway show, live music, professional lighting, and a curated audience of students, faculty, sponsors and community members.
Since its revival, CATWALK has raised more than £55,000 for charitable causes, while mentoring hundreds of students across fashion, event management, marketing, finance, logistics and the creative arts.
( 03 )St Andrews Charities Campaign
CATWALK is an official part of the University of St Andrews Charities Campaign, a university-wide initiative that channels student energy into meaningful charitable action.
Each year, the Campaign selects three charities: one local, one national, and one international. This structure ensures our impact is felt across scales, from the streets of St Andrews to communities around the world.
Local
A charity operating within the St Andrews or Fife community, supporting residents close to home.
National
A UK-wide charity addressing a cause that resonates with the student body and broader society.
International
A global charity tackling one of the world's most pressing humanitarian challenges.
