St Mary's in Partnership with Debenhams - Ladies Evening and Fashion Show 2010
We were delighted that so many people flocked to the Nines in Dalkeith Street, Barrow on Thursday 18th March for our special ladies evening and fashion show in partnership with Debenhams, Barrow.
Big attractions were stars from Barrow AFC – Stuart Tomlinson, Tim Deasy and Andy Bond who swapped the football pitch for the catwalk. While Barrow Raiders’ Brett McDermott, Nathan Mossop and Zeb Luisi strutted their stuff to help raise funds for St Mary’s.
A host of volunteer models showcased examples of clothing available from the hospice shops as well as ensembles from Debenhams.
Zoe Guest, fund-raising and operations manager said “£1,750 was raised for the hospice.”
“It was a wonderful evening and it was nice to see the event being so well supported. We were trying to encourage people to shop at our charity shops and demonstrate how good recycled clothes can be. We wanted to show that you can pick up excellent bargains at the St Mary’s shops and we wanted to get away from the negative image that second hand clothes have. When we blended the outfits in with the ones from Debenhams people were shocked when it was announced the clothes were from the hospice shops.”
Hairdressers from Paul French Hair Salon in Barrow were on hand to style the models hair and teams from Debenhams provided the make-up. Lisa Hart compared the evening and Girlband gave their first live performance since their formation earlier this month.
