Autumn Fashion Show

Local businesses staged an exclusive Autumn Fashion Show on Monday 29th September, in Royal Leamington Spa in aid of the charity.


Presented by Warwick-based Zap Events, the evening consisted of L.K. Bennett’s latest elegant and wearable designs, innovative costume jewellery from Ikandie, inspiring eclectic fashion from Lilac Rose (Regent St) and the pick of the season’s must-have brands from nv Her (Royal Priors). Models hair and make-up was done by Saks Hair and Beauty, Clinique and Headmasters Salon.

The venue was the Leamington Bar and Grill, the elegant rooms of which used to be the ballroom of the old Regent Hotel, and cocktails and canapes were provided, courtesy of manager Craig Henry.

Chelsea gold-medal winner, Sarah Horne, dressed the venue for the evening to photograph for her forthcoming book on floral design. The book will be available next summer but a calendar of dramatic pictures will be available by Christmas.

Emma Fawcett, Regional Fundraising Manager said “The wonderful support we have received from our sponsors and guests tonight has raised nearly £2000, which will make a real difference to the lives of local disabled children by providing the vital equipment they need.”
