The very latest fashion trends will literally be hitting the high street when a busy Wrexham shopping centre is transformed into a catwalk runway.
Roaming fashion shows will be taking place at Eagles Meadow on April 14 to showcase this season’s hottest new styles from retailers which can be found at the shopping centre.
Models will make their way through the shopping centre at half past every hour with the first show kicking off at 11.30 am and the last show at 3.30 pm. There will also be free mini makeovers on offer for visitors to Boots and Debenhams on the day.
Wales’ top style expert and popular S4C television presenter Huw Rees, known to his many fashion fans as Huw Fash, said the event was an indication of the town’s increasing popularity as a fashion hot-spot.
Huw said: “Marketing Wrexham as a fashion favourite is vital to encourage people to visit the centre. This in turn encourages more and more stores to have a presence there.
“To create an exciting centre for shopping and the natural buzz that this brings, people need to know that Wrexham is a place to visit so organising events such as the roaming fashion show underlines the town’s commitment to fashion.”
Huw added that he had noticed on his own visits to the town that Wrexham’s residents were natural style setters so he had no doubt the roaming fashion show would be a very popular event.
He said: “Street fashion is a natural occurrence in Wrexham. The diversity in age groups who shop in the city centre offers a wide range of unique styles.
“Wrexham is fast becoming a major fashion capital and this is the result of the people who live, visit and shop in the area.
“Style promotes style and with the availability of more and more fashion people experiment and this has a direct influence on the personal look of the shoppers.”
So which hot new styles should you be looking out for at the upcoming Eagles Meadow event? Huw has come up with four of his top tips for the spring/summer season to help Leader readers stay on trend.
