PREVIEW: Bath In Fashion

Written for Shoon, appears on the company website. http://www.shoon.com/articles/this-weeks-bath-in-fashion.htm



Bath in Fashion is upon us once again, a glorious week of programming that celebrates the British fashion industry; its origins past and present. It’s a time when the picturesque city comes alive with street-style, fashion celebrities and a wealth of exciting events for everyone to get involved with. These include style debates, stage workshops, style counsel, exhibitions and installations.


This year, it’s the turn of fashion giant BIBA, marking their 50th anniversary. It’s a time for celebration, reflection and insider know-how. Starting life as a London fashion store in the 60’s and 70’s, BIBA had a humble beginning, stocking affordable fashion for its customers. BIBA is now housed by House Of Fraser, and its creator Barbara Hulanicki will be leading the talks, joined for a debate by former Fashion Director from The Telegraph, Hilary Alexander.
Other guests include Meadhame Kirchhoff – cited as the most creative duo at this years’ London Fashion Week, as she talks about her work with Sarah Mower, from Bath, who is currently the Contributing Editor of American Vogue. 
Other speakers include Mary Homer, MD of Topshop and Clarks’ creative designer Paolo Gabreilli as part of the Fashion As a Business segment of the week.

Bath in Fashion Pavillion is a main feature and will showcase a programme created in partnership with Selvedge Magazine, visualising the imagination and poignant skills of local craftsmen and women from the area and beyond. 
Nina Campbell, (below) will also be hosting a master class on interior design, which will explain how she uses colour, texture, lighting, art pieces and flowers to create the perfect indoor space.
