Norwich-Fashion-Week

Norwich’s iconic cobbled streets packed with independent boutiques and heavyweight high-street fashion offering will play host to Norwich Fashion Week, which returns to the city between 6 and 13 March 2014. 

A schedule of city-wide catwalk and in-store shows will represent this city’s impressive fashion and beauty credentials. Tutorials from leading beauty bloggers, previews of lines from the region’s hottest up-and-coming designers and a catwalk show accompanied by live music from local bands form just a handful of what Fashion Week enthusiasts can expect.

Emma Harrowing, Chair of Norwich Fashion Week, comments: “Norwich Fashion Week brings together what’s special and unique about Norfolk’s fashion and style offering.

“Retailers, restaurants, salons, hotels, shopping centres and bars work collaboratively to run special offers and in-store events and the city is electric with creative inspiration. It’s an amazing showcase of this city’s style credentials and we’re proud to say it’s growing year on year.

A blend of national and independent retailers participate from the iconic local department store Jarrold to the endlessly charming Norwich Lanes, shopping centres and out-of town outlets.

Fashion Week is supported by City College Norwich and Norwich University of the Arts as well as sponsors Websters Estate Agent and the Norwich BID.
