Level 3 Events Management students went to the Clothes Show Live on a trip to take a behind the scenes look at a popular national event.
For all fashion fanatics the Clothes Show Live is the place to be, boasting itself as the UK’s largest fashion and beauty show with thousands passing through the doors of the 5 day event. Run between the sixth and tenth of December, it would have been crazy for us to pass off an opportunity like this with tickets starting at just £27, it is an event that is made easily affordable and accessible to all of us.
From 9am on the Monday morning, Birmingham NEC was crammed full of excited girls queuing for their turn into the events main highlight – its very own fashion show held within Suzuki fashion theatre. This year’s theme was ‘Night in a department store’ and saw many of the UK’s finest and most slender models waltz in an elegant manner down the fast paced catwalk revealing the seasons latest high street trends. Hosted by Grace Woodward, previous judge of Britain and Ireland’s next top model, and armed alongside a team of the most talented street dancers and chart topping band JLS, crowds were filled with extraordinary amounts of energy whilst dancing along to their favourite upbeat songs and a series of DJ sets.
Leaving the fashion show and feeling motivated towards jazzing up your own wardrobe, there are over 500 stalls for you to work your way around throughout the rest of the day, whether you want to bag yourself a bargain or experiment with some new beauty brands. With goody bags being offered with £50 worth of products for just £10, it is easy to be tempted and indulge into beauty brands such as Rimmel.
TOWIE star Amy Childs and leading hair brand owner Lee Stafford were also both available for photographs, advice and product signings which was a real winner for us! There was so much choice from vintage independent brands to the biggest high street retailers.
A well organised event packed with fun and opportunities, it is unsurprising that the show has now been running for 25 years and plans to return next year, so make sure you don’t miss out on your ticket!
