I haven't been to a Clothes Show Live since i was 16 and studying fashion at A Level. All i remember it to be is shopping heaven with lots of opportunities to shop and see the upcoming trends for the coming year. So going back after 10 years, i was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the show has not changed one bit. It has just got bigger and better.
It was a little daunting at the start to arrive and see hordes of teenage girls heading into NEC Birmingham but once you got inside, it wasn't so bad. The deals on clothes and beauty were second to none. I managed to get some amazing dresses for as little as £10 and they were beautiful. I think i might do a lookbook soon with those on. They also had a vast beauty section at the show where you could get deals on make up and beauty products. Rimmel were doing a bag full of products for only £10 as were Barry M, so some great deals to find.
The ticket to the Clothes Show Live also gives you access to the Fashion theatre where they put on a choreographed dance/fashion show, showing off designer fashions and upcoming trends. These were very well done with an awkward introduction from Peter Andre starting off proceedings. The segments were split by trend and accompanied by dance performance. I particularly loved one where a model came out in this beautiful white gown as a snow queen and also another where these models in suits were acting against a project of themselves depicting Wall Street.
The Clothes Show Live is a great day out with your girlfriends and really good for some bargain deals. It is like an affordable version of London Fashion Week and if you don't mind buying your summer fashion early, it is perfect!
