September means Style in Birmingham
.jpg)
September is always a good month for the style queens and fashionistas of Birmingham, and this year it's going to be bigger and better than ever.
We have Style Birmingham Live taking place towards the end of the month, the Bullring and its iconic Selfridges store celebrates its tenth birthday (which also makes me feel old as I was a student working in a store there when it opened)... but first up is something I always look forward to: the Harvey Nichols Birmingham Autumn/Winter Fashion Show.
Once held in store with just a rejig of space, the event keeps on getting bigger and bigger. It's now become so popular that the Spring/Summer show earlier in the year had to be moved to a huge space in the Old Post Office building within the Mailbox complex, where it will be held again this time.
Set to showcase
the very best in designer collections, the catwalk event will be staged this coming Tuesday September 10 and will feature striking new season ranges from
Christopher Kane, Kenzo, Stella McCartney, Gucci, Markus Lupfer, Christian
Louboutin and Philip Armstrong.
Always an event that manages to pull out a few well known faces from the football world (and, of course, their 'WAGs'), for
this event the luxury store has gone one step further, teaming up with Professional Player – the magazine delivered to all UK professional
footballers. And quite frankly, they might as well - the number of Guccis and Louboutins these so-called WAGs - and no doubt the footballers themselves - are rumoured to splash out on, they'd be missing a trick if they didn't make it an official partnership!
Harvey Nichols have, incidentally, also recently announced their expansion plans for the Mailbox site, so the catwalk show should hopefully give us a taste of things to come.
Richard Vickery, General Manager of Harvey Nichols
Birmingham commented: “This
will be our biggest show to date in such an amazing venue.
“We are expecting the most exclusive front
row yet – it certainly will be the event to see and be seen at.”
That's good enough for me! Roll on Tuesday!
INFO:
Tickets
cost £15 and the evening will kick off with a Champagne reception at 7pm.
Following the show, guests can enjoy an exclusive 15% discount in store. There
will be a charity auction, hosted by TV presenter Nick Hancock, with money
raised going to the footballers’ charity XPro.
