For 25 years, Folk Clothing has been about people – coming together, sharing ideas, and making things that feel right. A legacy of creativity, community and craftsmanship. Now, as we celebrate this milestone, we invite the next generation to pick up a pencil and shape what’s next.
Supported by the brand and those who love to wear it, we are welcoming artists to submit existing work to be considered for short-course bursaries and residency spaces.
The Best Ideas are Still Waiting to be Drawn
We want to give back to creativity - to support emerging creatives, those looking to upskill and those looking to start something new.
Submissions are now open. Submit an existing work to 25@folkclothing.com and let us know if you are applying for a short-course bursary or for a residency space.

Creating a Lasting Legacy – the Artist in Residency Space, W1
Folk is laying the foundations for the future with the launch of its Artist in Residency space at the new Eastcastle Street Store, W1.
A dedicated creative hub where the next generation can experiment, grow, and shape the evolving Folk narrative.
The first six-month residency will be led by Joey Yu, paving the way for the next resident – be it an upcoming bursary winner of a future creative collaborator.
To be considered for a future residency, please submit an existing work to 25@folkclothing.com.
Through collaboration, creativity and community, Folk continues to open doors, inviting the next generation to take their place in its ongoing story – because the best ideas are still waiting to be drawn.
