I travelled south, just for one weekend, JUST to attend some of the events that were happening in my home town of Bath, for Bath in Fashion. On Thursday the 15th, my friend Gabi and I went to a mini catwalk show held in The Octagon, which, in itself is just so beautiful, you could spend hours just gazing at the carvings alone! So it was wonderful to combine this classic building with FASHION! Many of the surrounding shops along and around Milsom Street (the main shopping street in Bath) had got involved to show off their Spring/Summer trends and styling tips. We got a little goodie bag, choc full of vouchers and a little juice/smoothie recipe book (perfect for getting that glowing summer skin!) and also a complimentary glass of wine (maybe not so good for the complexion).
N.W.3 at Hobbs was my favourite with it's sunny colour palette, ranging from spring greens to warm oranges and yellows. It gave a feel of Europe street-chic, and we both loved it! Coast, Reiss, L.K. Bennett, House of Frasier and Liz Cox Bags were among the other offerings on the catwalk.
Although perhaps not what you might call the height of fashion, I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and my friend, who has never been to anything remotely like that before, was absolutely thrilled. We had great fun, and saw some lovely clothes, and got a free glass of red! Can't go wrong...
The next evening, I was back in the Octagon, but this time the catwalk had been replaced with Rosemary Harden, manager of the Fashion Museum in Bath. She gave myself and my mother a wonderful, but condensed, talk on the collection of the museum, and 1960s fashion. I took millions of pages of notes, far too much to mention here right now, but perhaps a future project(?) which were complimented perfectly by some little sketches my mum, Angela Goodman did for me.
It was a great, great mini break, and I will definitely be going again next year if (fingers crossed) it continues.
