Belfast FASHIONWEEK Designer and Boutique night

- March 26, 2015

My favourite night of Belfast FASHIONWEEK,which is the part of FASHIONWEEK were local designers and boutiques showcase their S/S 2015 designs on the catwalk.The catwalk event was hosted at the "Life" church on Bruce street in Belfast on Friday 20th March.Personally this is my favourite venue because the interior is very quirky and quite unique.When we entered the event we were greeted by the very talented Photograpgher Brendan Gallagher,who took some press shots at the event.As we walked further into the venue,we received a complimentary West Coast Coast Cooler,which was very freshing and hit the spot!West Coast Cooler are the official sponsors of Belfast FASHIONWEEK and have supported CEO and Founder Cathy Martin and her CMPR team from the very start.It is always good to see local bussiness supporting local designers and boutiques,as it shows that they are giving back to their customers.

What I wore:

White Tassel T-shirt dress by Nor-Lisa,silver sandals from Shophoric,metallic silver bag from Primark

For the event, I went for a classic/street look,with this sheer panelled white tasseled dress by Nor-Lisa,teamed up with some classy silver peep toe sandels from Shophoric.Finishing the look of with a oval shaped metallic silver bag from Primark,giving that classic yet edgy overall look.

Before the show we were directed towards the reception room,were there were a wide range of Fashion and beauty stalls,so that the guests could grab a bargain and at the same time they could get pampered.I thought that is was a perfect way of getting local designers designs recognised and would help promote their brands off the catwalk.After the Fashion market we entered the main room were we directed towards our seats.Where we had been giving a fabulous Fashion week goodie bag,the contents of the bag contained products from local businesses which were kindly donated by them,giving us a bag of exclusive products so we could try out.
