Brighton Fashion Week, or 'Brighton Frocks', will return for its sixth year in June, transforming some of the city's top venues into catwalks and fashion emporiums.
The week's catwalk shows, running from 9 till 13 June, will include couture and graduate collections, and Jez Eaton's Trashion Show will premiere the recycled designs that have received such great reviews across Europe. The week will also feature an exhibition for up-and-coming designers, fashion installations, free workshops and talks, competitions and shopping discounts, as well as a fair few champagne parties.
Venue details have yet to be announced but the Corn Exchange, the Clarence Suite at the Brighton Hilton Metropole Hotel and St Michael's Church have all be rumoured as possible locations.
In the run-up to the event, scouts will be trawling the streets of Brighton for models to appear in the catwalk shows. And from small beginnings come great things: Two of the girls chosen to appear in last year's show have since been signed by Storm modelling agency.
Kelly Knox, winner of BBC3's 'Britain’s Missing Top Model', in which eight disabled women battled it out to win a contract with a top modelling agency, will also take to the catwalk in the Couture Show.
Organiser of Brighton Frocks, Liz Bishop said: "Brighton Fashion Week 2010 will be bigger, better and brighter, attracting designers and visitors from all over the UK and beyond. Brighton is the perfect place to stage such an event as it’s vibrant, edgy and not afraid to be a bit different, and the week will definitely reflect this.
"Every year the event has grown and grown, and this year we’re hoping to attract big name sponsors who can ensure that we can keep staging the innovative catwalk shows and fashion-related events that we are renowned for."
