Fashion & beauty festival at Fairhill

The ‘Fashion Lives’ event will see top models take to the catwalk in three exciting fashion shows at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm, showcasing the latest Autumn/Winter collections from well-known Fairhill retailers including Topshop, River Island, Next, New Look, Marks & Spencer and Debenhams. 

To complement the fashion shows, some of the country’s top style experts will be on hand to help shoppers incorporate the catwalk looks into their wardrobe and make-up bags.

Leading fashion stylist Eve Brannon will be offering invaluable advice on the season’s must-have pieces, while Shek Hair Group’s Style Director, Claire Hannah is recreating key A/W trends, and glamorous IN magazine Editor, Lisa Harrison is compering the event. 

Together these experts will take centre stage and give top tips for every age, shape and size.

Eve Brannon will advise thrifty fashionistas on how to get the latest A/W look for under £100 using a mix of outfits from various stores, with Boots’ top beauty teams working alongside stylists from Shek Hair Group to treat lucky shoppers to hair and beauty make-overs. 

After the show the models will return to the shop windows where they will act as mannequins, giving shoppers the opportunity to head into stores to snap up their favourite looks. As an added incentive, there will be a host of fabulous prizes up for grabs throughout the afternoon. 

Natalie Jackson, from Fairhill Shopping Centre, said: “Our customers are fashion conscious savvy shoppers so this type of event appeals to their desire to get the latest looks for less.  Our fashion events always bring chic style and fabulous fashion to the catwalk, and the on-site tips from the style gurus mean our shoppers can put their own stamp on key trends, right here at Fairhill. Money will also be raised for the centre’s affiliated charity MacMillan Cancer.”
