Fashion show
extravaganza delights Birkenhead shoppers
 THE
glitz and glamour came to Birkenhead's bustling Grange and Pyramids
Shopping Centre on Saturday with a series of live fashion shows.
The centre played host to The Big Autumn and Winter Fashion Fix with
a team of models from the Catwalk Agency, headed by stylist, top
model and presenter Caroline Childs, staging 9 'flash mob'
style shows throughout the day.
It brought crowds flocking into the Wirral town to be entertained by
the dancing models parading the latest High Street fashions from the
centres' retailers.
One of the retailers taking part was Next and store manager,
Bernadette Walsh, who said the event had brought them a bumper sales
day.
Bernadette said:- "I didn't
actually get out to see the shows because it was so manic in store.
We had a really busy week in general but Saturday was exceptional
and the event must have had an impact because footfall in the centre
was a lot higher than normal. It really did seem to bring a lot of
customers through the door."
Derek Millar, Commercial Director
for the Grange and Pyramids Shopping Centre, said:- "The event
was really lively and fun to watch and the shopping centre was very
busy. There was a real buzz to the place, and the reaction from the
shops has been very positive. From the smiles on our customers'
faces, everyone seemed to be having a really good time." |
