Despite it snowing here in the North East yesterday – in April!! – we are all thinking about the summer. If you are after some inspiration on the hottest trends, you need to hot foot it down to Intu Metrocentre for their #Intufashion event this weekend.
Holiday clobber, looks for the gents and the prettiest wedding guest inspiration are some of the key looks you’ll see.
From Thursday 27 – Sunday 30 April models will be taking to the runway in Town Square, near House of Fraser, in an array of must-have outfits from stores across the centre including brands from House of Fraser and Tessuti as well as Phase Eight, Coast, Topman and Dorothy Perkins.
The fashion shows, hosted by BBC Newcastle’s Anna Foster, will feature key looks for SS17 – from statement sleeves and slogan tees for the ladies, to camouflage, pastels and loose-fit suits for men. Mini fashionistas will not be forgotten as the latest childrenswear ranges from Cath Kidston will take centre stage with the centre’s new Heads of Fun at 1pm on Saturday 29 April.
With style inspiration at the forefront of the shows – shoppers will certainly leave with a spring in their step, embracing the latest trends in fashion, footwear and accessories. The inspiration continues even when the models have left the runway, with digital screens displaying more of the new season’s hottest pieces.
In addition, many retailers will be running special offers for the duration of the fashion extravaganza, including 20% off at Ecco, Warehouse and Boux Avenue, making this the perfect opportunity for shoppers to revamp and refresh their summer wardrobes with a few select items.
