A night at the official pre-fashion week press event
 |
The event took place at the uber-cool, super-chic Mechu Bar
|
 |
| We were treated to champagne, cupcakes and popcorn |
 |
| There was some eye candy: (L) the boys from Clements and Church, one of many designers that will be showcasing their collection at Birmingham Fashion Week-they looked so dapper! (R) My plus-one |
 |
| I met fellow blogger Ruth (L) from http://sheworechic.blogspot.com and a member of the fashion week production team (R) |
 |
My plus-one said I looked cute in my outfit: - ASOS trousers, Zara top, Zara hat
|
Birmingham International Fashion Week (yes!! Birmingham!!)
takes place on 09-10 March and I was fortunate enough to be invited to the
official launch press event last week, where I had the opportunity to network
with the event organisers, other bloggers and fashion designers whilst sipping on complimentary Moet and nibbling
on popcorn and cupcakes; I was right in my element. The host for the event was
the uber-cool and super-chic Mechu Bar in Birmingham’s city centre.
Supplementary to me being a fashion enthusiast, there are
two reasons why I’m really excited and impressed by Birmingham Fashion Week
(BFW). Firstly, this is the first annual fashion week to be held in Birmingham,
my home town; it’s a prestigious event showcasing a selection of high profile
fashion shows right on my doorstep! Secondly, BFW is supporting Unicef, the
world’s leading children’s organisation, by donating 50% of their ticket sales
to their Children’s Emergency Fund. This in itself justified the extra
expenditure on my upgraded VIP ticket.
To echo the sentiments of Birmingham Fashion Week:
“We believe it is time for the second
biggest city of Britain to achieve renown within the global fashion industry
and international fashion”.
Here here and I can’t wait! Will you be
attending?

ReplyDeleteJust noticed that we have the same surname : Colleen ! Except mine is written : Coline ^^

Coline ♡
Ha ha yes we have the same forename, lovely name isn't it, and the name Colleen (not sure about Coline) originated from the Irish word cailin which means 'girl' - hence forcailini. Sorry getting carried away!
DeleteSuch a cool event, it had to be so much fun! And your +1 is right, you looked cute, but I'd also add sexy and definitely very CHIC! Those pants are insane, honey, great look!!
