With only ten minutes into the Leeds RAG Fashion Night Out, The Faversham was swarming with guests that were eagerly lining up for all that was on offer.

It was fashion galore; from free hairstyling by Westrow hair, makeovers by Benefit and manicures by Pastilles beauty bar. Each ensured every one of the guests got a chance to step into the limelight for the evening. Fashion Night Out goers were enjoying themselves with drinks in hand and sweet treats in the other, including donuts and cupcakes provided by the fashion and beauty societies and pretzels by Gerhard’s.

But it doesn’t stop there, unisex clothing brands Best Leeds, Alma De Ace & Fresco exhibited their designs alongside LFRS merchandise that included both beanies and t-shirts. With so much on display it’s no wonder guests were practically standing shoulder to shoulder, and all in the name of charity.

LFRS Directors Issy Croneen and Anna Rhodes were relieved to see that the event was a success and hope to carry this on to the big night. In conversation with them they promised that this year’s RAG Fashion Show would be bigger and better; starting with the creation of the first official after party that will be open to all guests as well as committee and models.

Be sure to be on the look out for their promo video that will be released next week. Which will confirm that the theme this year will open a door into a ‘Whimsical’ world that will soon be translated onto the runway. With clothing sourced from names such as Victoria’s Secret PINK and Accent as well as entire collections being created especially for the show, I can’t help but get the feeling that this is not something you want to miss out on.
