THE DEPARTMENT STORE

By Claire Littler

If you weren’t at our autumn/winter ’12 runway show last week, then you missed out on a CRACKER of an event!

A massive crowd flocked to the store to see 52 models feature in a 25 minute show which included winter looks from Black Box, Karen Walker, Topshop and The Men’s Department, with a special feature from the brand new ‘Top Up’ designers: Ruby, Liam & Tigerlily.

Hair & make-up was, as always, expertly executed by the teams at Stephen Marr and Lucy & The Powder Room.

BIG thanks to our sponsors on the night – Steinlager Pure, Smirnoff Signatures, Rochfort Rees Wine and Sanpellegrino.
