Following the huge success of House of Fraser's “Summer House of Fashion” at Aruba, Bournemouth earlier this year, the department store on Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, held an autumn catwalk show earlier this month.
The ladies were given a
60s look by Reef Hair Studio and the in-store make-up artists for
Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Chanel and Benefit.
The event was once again in aid of House of Fraser's nominated charity, the Wessex Cancer Trust, which raises money to support cancer services across Dorset and the south.
Kim Lawford, for Wessex Cancer Trust, said: “This is the second fashion show House of
Fraser have done for us. We're delighted they're doing lots of
charity events for us.”
In addition to the two fashion shows, House of Fraser have supported the Trust by donating raffle and auction prizes, and helped out at local events such as the Babies' Grand Day Out at the Pavilion back in August.
Kim commented: “To be
linked with a name like House of Fraser really gives us recognition
and raises our profile.”
Everyone who attended also received a goodie bag, as well as complimentary Bucks Fizz and a mixture of canapés.
The store remained open
until 9pm, giving guests a chance to browse the collections modelled
in the catwalk show.
After the event, store
manager Gary Rattray said: “We were really pleased with the
turnout. The store was buzzing and we raised lots of money for Wessex
Cancer Trust, which is what it's all about.”
