Street culture will be celebrated on Friday at The Graffiti Ball at Sofitel Hotel at London’s Heathrow Terminal 5. The event is being organised by The Consortium for Street Children to raise awareness of the plight of street children on a national and global level.

The event will feature a fashion show where six international design houses, including Rina Dhaka, Ritu Beri, Sonu Nilibar and Antonio Lucci, will showcase new lines in a Graffiti-inspired BMX indoor fashion show.

The outfits will be auctioned off on the evening to raise vital funds for CSC amidst an urban stunts show of acrobats and street dancers.

Surina Narula MBE and Max Mongia who are respectively Co-Chair and Trustee for CSC, will host the event with the unique theme of graffiti. The ball celebrates street culture and the growing influence of this street art on the international art scene.

The event has strong support within the music, sports, fashion and art industry and will be attended by an array of celebrities including comedian Richard Blackwood and cricketer and Strictly Come Dancing superstar Mark Ramprakash.
