On Saturday I went to the Clothes Show in Birmingham. It was amazing and I can't believe that I hadn't found myself there already! I bought loads and loads and would like to do a haul, maybe in a few parts? The only problem is the light is really bad at the moment so taking pictures is really hard as it's dark in the morning when I go out and dark again by the time I come back :( but hopefully soon the pictures will get taken and then you can have a look at all the bits and pieces I picked up.
I would say the fashion show was the best part. It was 40 minutes long with dancers and models. Don't get me wrong I could shop for England it's just that the clothes were not great at all! A bit funny considering its the CLOTHES show. It just all seemed market-ish. There were stalls after stalls selling the same stuff and it didn't look great quality either. There was the odd gem though. I would say the beauty hall was amazing, there were some great deals and that was where most of my money went. Anyway back to the fashion show. The first section was a sort of English countryside with an edge. The pieces were quite tailored and there were a lot of tweed type materials and jumpers with big coats over the top.
As my Christmas present from my lovely Auntie she got me a premium ticket, this meant we had amazing seats, close to the front. The bottom right picture is the section of the show that was sort of monochrome casual clothes, there were a lot of t-shirts with the big numbers on, which is something that is around a lot in shops at the moment. Another thing that was quite common was man crop tops, not too sure if that one will catch on ;) There were also some very nice male models... The show was really amazing to watch and the music and dance made it really engaging.
Some of the best bits in the show for me were the swimwear section (bottom right) and the zumba class dance (top right). In the zumba they did this amazing dance and omg the lead dancer was incredible and the section ended up with him in the splits eeek!! The swimming part was great as well The lighting was blue and the dancers did all these lifts to make it look like they were swimming. There was one bit (bottom right) were they lifted this girl up and passed her along so it looked like she was doing backstroke.
My favourite section was by far the gold clothing, which is a surprise as I'm not a massive fan of OTT clothes, but I just thought they were extremely beautiful. My favourite piece out of the whole show was the sequin glittery gold dress (top left), A beautiful blonde model wore it and it looked incredible. It was gold sparkles all over with long sleeves and a deep v neckline, it was floor length but had a slit down the leg. There was also a section with LBD's a lot of the black clothes had silky textures.
Over all it was an amazing experience and I would definitely go again. Have you ever been to the Clothes Show, what did you think?
