On Thursday 1st May, we organised a local fashion show to raise money for Senior Solutions whilst raising the profile of local businesses. Senior Solutions is a Westhoughton based charity that combats social isolation and loneliness by visiting local people and those in the surrounding area. The event took place at Brookfield Hall that was hired to us free of charge.
On the night, Lane of Vintage Vocals acted as compare for the evening, as well as entertaining with his singing. All of the photos that you see on this blog were taken by Phil of Snap Decision who was the official photographer for the evening.
Vibrant Vintage opened the fashion show with a collection of true vintage clothing from the 1950’s to 1980’s. Below Cat wears a 1970’s blue Eastex suit, and carried a 1940’s suitcase. The size 12 suit has a very 1940’s vibe about it and is priced at £25 (the suitcase is not for sale)
Next up we have Vicky wearing a lovely Global 1960’s tropical dress priced at £30. She is carrying an unusual bag priced at £10
Then we had Alex wearing a purple 1980’s dress with beaded detail. This size 12 dress is priced at £20. With Alex we have our male model of the evening Chris, wearing a vintage shirt pried at £12

Following our catwalk, Antique Chic entertained the audience with some songs. Antique Chic are a group of 4 girls aged between 17-18 years old who love to sing. They have only been together as a group for less than 2 months, yet they did a fantastic job of singing
After Antique Chic, Alexandra Kay Designs showed off her debut collection of vintage inspired clothing, all made from vintage dress patterns.
