Ever wanted to see what goes on behind a fashion photo shoot
or runway show? Are you itching to find
out how to achieve that top model hair style or make-up artist finish? Want to
meet the designers themselves? Well this week is your chance as Cardiff hosts
its first ever Fashion week. Models and
designers will take place at various locations around the city, including
Mermaid Quay and The Royal Arcade, from the 20th to the 31st
giving us a whopping 9 days of fashion-filled fun. Event director, Claire Birt, shed some light on how the fashion week came about, “An official fashion week for Cardiff is long overdue. The city has a phenomenal shopping and fashion product and is listed as the sixth best shopping destination in the UK.” Anyone who has stepped foot in St Davids Shopping Centre cannot dispute that our Welsh capital deserves some recognition.
A selection of the events includes a chance to meet the designers behind the brand at Joie de Vivre on the 25/10/201 or go behind the scenes of a RedHanded photo shoot at Mill Lane followed by catwalk evening at Mocka Lounge on the 26/10/2012. Boots will be offering many fashion tutorials including ‘Boots Most Stylish’ on the 23/10/2012 and ‘Boots Hair Styling Master Classes’ on the 26/10/2012. Retailers such as Debenhams, House of Fraser and John Lewis will also be taking part. The climax of the fashion week will be The St David’s Fashion Show spanning over two days starting from the 27/10/2012.
On the eve of Cardiff Fashion Week the city centre was struck by tragedy with many injured and a life lost during a series of hit and run attacks. A statement from Cardiff Fashion Week comments “The models taking part in the first Cardiff Fashion Week event on Saturday 20th October will wear a white flower as a mark of respect.”.
